Dreamwidth style
Oct. 30th, 2012 01:50 pmI currently write posts in dreamwidth and have them crossposted to LiveJournal. I hope to persuade as many people as possible to do something similar from dreamwidth, or wordpress/tumblr/blogger/etc or a private blog, etc for their medium-form and long-form blogging, so there's still some community if livejournal suddenly disappears.
I'd also like to help foster more of a sense of community on Dreamwidth by thinking of that as my primary platform rather than just an interface to livejournal.
But I keep not doing so, and I've been asking myself why. I think it's just that my default style on dreamwidth (the default home page and the default for my journal) I don't like as much as the default style for livejournal. And that for ages I've used the candle icon as my default icon, but it doesn't actually feel like "me".
So, can you customise a site skin? Any suggestions for good dreamwidth styles? I really want something really simple, with a white background, a splash of light blue colour, that shows user icons but otherwise looks as much like a minimalist professional site and as little like a blogging platform as possible... Any suggestions?
