Since I love the mood thingies LJ has and no one else has done anything close to Unky in size and style (according to my Google searches) that can easily be used on non-LJs, I decided to make my own. I made an entry/post template and just swap out the file name for the graphic.<br><br>On LJ, non-paying members get 3 user pics, max of 100 x 100 px. I don't recall ever having a max of 9 pics. Paid members got 15 and I reached that rather quickly after paying for my account in March. LJ recently, as in a couple of weeks ago, went nuts and upped that to 100. Previously, only permanent (paid) members and early adopters got that many. If you're paying for your LJ, Karen, you should check your account info for user pics. They also put in an automatic renewal feature. If you opt for that by the deadline (Oct, I think), you get 2-3 free months and they'll pro-rate your payment if you do it, as I did, before your year is up. Non-paying members still have the same icon restrictions as far as I know.<br><br>I've been making user pics or icons for LJ, too. I have 63 of the things now. Most recently, I've been playing with quotation ones. Next, I want to learn how to really do blends. This has been a practical way to practice with Photoshop for me. And I want to do some themes. The quotations are one theme. I'm thinking of doing a set of science fiction ones next.<br><br>Cool looking icons you made, Karen. Do check your account again. You shouldn't have to choose which to use if you have a paid account.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780547696687100620.post-56007630260249616722005-08-28T02:54:00.000-07:002005-08-28T02:54:00.000-07:00KarenAvatars?
