Component Help

If you take a look at my journal, you'll see that I am missing something painfully obvious that is making the code print to my component instead of being the component.

What do I do?


Here is my code:( Collapse )

I just started using s2/ component, and I'm in desperate need of help, lol. A few questions... (help is GREATLY appreciated.. I'm an idiot so bare with me lol)

1.) this about the color of links. my journal is mainly 2 different colors- black and #ff99dd (pink). well I was wondering how I can get the links on the pink part to always be black. and how I can get the links on the black part to always be pink? this may involve advanced customization which I am completely ignorant about. if anyone can help me, Id love you. lol

2.) regarding outlining color... there's like this dark hot pink outlining on my journal.. it's around the entries and it's a shadow of the little "previous" arrows. I was wondering how I can change this to white?

3.) I read the tutorial about adding components on the side, and found out that I must be a dummy (I can't figure it out.. i dont know what to put where, and so on.. im confused.)

I am totally new to S2 styles. I have a few questions...

Can you make custom styles with component as a base for editing?

I just wanted to thank everyone that help me with my compression/centering question. I'm finally happy with my journal...

...until you geniuses come up with something new. ;)

Thanks so much!

Is there a tutorial to making your LJ skinnable?

all the S2 coding and overrides / advanced customization.. it's all a foreighn language to me. =(

I've figured out how to get to the area where I paste to codes though.. and I checked the tutorials and couldn't find one that told how to do this:

this deals with coloring. my navigation component is pink(ff99dd), and my entries boxes are black. I want the links on the black parts of my journal to be in ff99dd, however, if I do that, they don't show up on the pink part! problem with this is that I want the links on the pink areas of my journal to be black. =( I'm soo lost.
also some of the links on my navigation box will show up black at first, then Ill click one and they'll disappear back to pink! >:(

PLEASE HELP ME! =D

one more thing for now.. there's a dark hot pink outline on my journal, and I didn't put that color for any of the customizations. how can I change it?

I'm new with livejournal and component here.

basically everything is working the way I want it to, but there's just one prob. I embed the journal into this iframe on my site, and the journal doesn't "fit" into the iframe perfectly.

click here to take a look.

notice that the journal looks cut-off when it first loads?

does anyone have any codes that I can use to prevent it from scrolling vertically in the iframe? thanks!
