n00by questions

[vass]

Hi. I'm really fed up with LJ, and I've decided to start using my DW as my primary journal.

Accordingly:

1. How do I change the alignment of my style modules from left to right?
2. Can I crosspost using Semagic? If not, is there another client I can crosspost with? At the moment I'm stuck with Windows XP, but I'll be moving back to Linux in a few months, when I finish saving up for my new computer.
3. How do I customise the navigation strip colour?

That's it for now. Thanks. I'm sure I'll think of more questions soon.

1. Depends on the style you are thinking of using, whether it's available! Looks like you are using Basic Boxes right now, so I recommend going here:

http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/#layout

Which will let you change your basic page setup. There is a "2 Column (sidebar on right)" option. If you want to keep three columns but just change around which modules are in each one, go here:

http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=modules

Where you can place modules in either group one or group two.

2. People have kept notes on compatible clients here: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Compatible_clients

3. You can customize light/dark here: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options

Anything other than that and you'll need to customize CSS in your theme, and it'll only be that color while you're in your style! If you need more info on that, say so, and someone is bound to help.

Thank you! My journal looks right again.

Whee, thanks for the Compatible Clients list! I'm particularly glad to see there are Firefox addons that can work as blogging clients, and be bodged into working for DWth.
