>> Making your layers viewable
If you need to post large portions of code, it's easier to make your layer(s) and/or style viewable. Now it does NOT mean that you have to give anybody your password. If a person asks you do that then he/she's a moron. DO NOT EVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD.
That being said what should you do?
Put layerinfo "source_viewable" = 1; into the top of your layer(s) and compile. Then go back to the Your Layers page. In front of each layer you have a number. Give it to the person who's helping you.
If you need to give your style ID, you'll find it next to your style's name in the Your Styles page.
She/He will then create a copy of your layer and work on it. Once everything's okay they will give you a link where you'll be able to see your 'new' layer.
>> Posting code
LiveJournal automatically interprets any HTML code you may write. For example if I write in a comment or in an entry <b>this text should be bolded<b> to bold my text, it will appear as this text should be bolded once I've posted my comment/entry.
So how do you do when you want to write <b>this text should be bolded<b> just like I've done above to make the code visible?
Characters which are interpreted as HTML have to be written with name codes. For example < corresponds to < and > corresponds to > 'Less than' and 'greater' than in fact.
You can see here a table which will give your all the corresponding codes for these symbols. BTW, see all the little
Fortunately, you can use a wonderful tool: HTML for LiveJournal.
Write or copy/paste your code normally with all the < and = and things like that then click on the magic button (Modify HTML) and it will give you the corresponding gibberish.
Copy/paste the mess in your entry and ta-da everybody can see your code now.
Don't forget to use lj-cuts when you post code in an entry.
