Yay, you're on DW!

Crossposting works great, generally. It usually only gets tricky when LJ has a DDOS.

Does this mean you'll double-post everything on both journals now?

[calliopes_pen]

I'm leaning towards yes, while making sure commenting is always open for both for anyone that prefers a particular one. If I edit, I just need to remember to do it here, and tell it to automatically do both.

If I could figure out a way to get my layout from LJ over here, I'd be thrilled. But that's S1 Generator style.

I don't think there's a way to get the same layout over here, but if you look through all of them, you might find one you like as much or more. I had one for the longest time here that I thought of as "adequate," until I took the time to really look and found a bunch of really nice ones. Or you could join the developing volunteers, and then I think you could make any layout you wanted... But I have no idea how that'd work...

[calliopes_pen]

Neither do I. It's been a while (4 or 5 years, maybe longer) since I last changed my layout. And at that point, it wasn't much more than copy/pasting the code from the person that made it.

I'm mainly trying to find one that's similar to the layout of Generator at this point, without colors that trigger migraines. So far, this one seems okay with color and text sizes.

I'm not sure what Generator is....

I like this one. :)

[calliopes_pen]

So far, I haven't found any FAQ that explains the differences in Generator. All I know is that I was used to it.

Yes, this one does seem to to be the best of the ones I've dug through so far.

thanks for the link to the Inner Light orchestration. Inner Light is my all time fav Next Gen episode and I bought the CD which has the Inner Light suite on it because I adored the music. Despite the youtube commenter, the temp of this rendition is a bit slow, but its wonderful to see it played live. Have to share, thanks (:
