A penny for your thoughts...

[olde_fashioned]

I've just given my profile a bit of a make-over! ;-) Not so much the text as the graphics and color scheme...feedback and opinions are welcome! I think it might still need some finishing touches, but I'm really pleased with the graphic I made. I was making it for a new layout but I decided to keep Marie-anne Lavoisier for now. ;-P

Speaking of graphics, I also had to make myself a North & South love banner, which I'm posting here to share with my fellow Margaret and Thornton fans! (comment and credit as usual, please)

I like it very much! It's very pretty!

If you don't mind me asking what html code did you use to make it look so nice?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

I don't mind your asking, only I don't know! iane_grey made the table for me, and I only changed the colors and added Margaret graphic and the "About Me", "Books I Read", etc. I'd be more than happy to show the html to you, if you like.

[sabrinafair2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would be great if you could.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Um, okay, I'm trying to think of how it could work...could you Gmail me with your email address, and then I'lll try to send it?

Oh! I really like the new look of your prfile. I really like the picture, too. Who is that?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The picture is a cap of Daniella Denby-Ashe as Margaret Hale from the (fabulous) BBC drama North & South. If you haven't seen it, you really really should, because it's wonderful. ;-) Of course reading the book first would probably be a good idea too...

[anodiel.livejournal.com]

Oh, ok. It kind of looked like Kate Winslet. But I didn't think it was. I'll have to watch the movie and read the book sometime.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes do!! Run -- don't walk -- to the bookstore and snatch yourself a copy, lol! I don't know how big you are on period dramas (do you like them?) but this one is just wonderful wonderful. ;-D

Your new profile looks nice.I've also started watching the North and South DVD.When I'm finished I'll check out the icons you made of John Thornton and Margaret Hale.

Those drawings of "Stonewall" Jackson and Jeb Stuart were very good.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'd love to hear what you think of N&S once you're finished with it. ;-) It's quickly become one of my favourites.

Thank you again! I love the Civil War.

[robertinbc.livejournal.com]

Sure,I'll let you know what I think of North and South.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Okay! :-D

I haven't commented on your journal in ages! But I wanted to mention that the Marriage banner you've up in your profile is lovely :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I know! ;-)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. It turned out pretty well considering the trouble I had finding images. :-)

[perfectpeace.livejournal.com]

Hello! I found this user pix that I believe you made on another persons's journal. Do you mind if I use it? I didn't know how else to ask you about it, so if you'd rather me not I can take it off my list. Thanks!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

*smiles* Not at all! That's why I make them, to be used. ;-) You're perfectly welcome to use any and all of my icons, as is everyone else. Only please credit me, but I always love comments. ;-P

[perfectpeace.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :-D I derive pleasure from others using my icons. ;-)

Hi once again! Can I use this wonderful banner in my profile? I'd like to make such beautiful userpics and banners like yours. Oh, and the film is... it is... admirable, yes (as a book, of course)!^_^

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Of course you may! Thank you for being kind enough to ask, and thank you for the compliments. :-)

I recently made a newer one, which I've yet to publicize, but it's in my profile, if you'd like to see/use it. ;-)

[nastyelf.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You are very pleasant and I bless you for your kindness. :-D

And your graphics are the most interesting ever, I swear.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! :-D
