Now, once that's done, you have a full update page at the address: http://www.livejournal.com/users/your_lj_name/?.mode=update (ie. http://www.livejournal.com/users/t3knomanser/?.mode=update). Using this basic idea, you could add more if/then/else clauses and have any number of custom pages to print out. And I swear I'll do the tutorial on the flat-box-border entries, but the code's kinda messed up, so I'm putting it off.
