OK, I'm declaring this a failed experiment.

Loading my style chrome out of LJ Scrapbook hasn't turned out to be such a great idea .... it responds slowly, and I'm seeing a distressing frequency of bits of style chrome just not loading at all.

So I'm switching all the chrome back to loading from novylen.net.  Barring things like power outages, it's faster and more reliable.

Well, I didn't know what you were talking about anyway. So, I guess I should feel more "back in the fold," with you dropping it. [grin]

Scrapbook, or whatever they've renamed it to, is LJ's photo-hosting service. And by style chrome, I'm referring to the various bitmaps and images that are used as backgrounds etc. in my LJ style.

The purple, gray, gray-blue lines and etc., yes?

Btw, if so, they seem perfect for you. Which they should of course.... you chose them.

I like to find a background, on LJ sites. I like the mood they create. It seems to be another way to 'know' the person. Not just by his/her entries.

"Bingo!" An idea for an entry, for me! :-)

I was actually going for a polished-metal look, but the final result came out a bit too blue. Maybe I'll rework them sometime.

I still get the 'metal' look... Especially since you use the Alaric Icon on there. Don't ever loose that one, please.

And I'm emailing something to you ~ because of a past discussion of the issue of disaster readiness.
