Some days are just perfect....

...like today.
The wonderful, talented, generous, fabulous beeej has made me this beaaauutiful banner for lj with Methos, Duncan, Amanda and Joe . I am so happy, so happy...isn't it pretty?
I'm fighting with S2 at present to get it to show on my lj...damn, I'm gonna get myself through some HTML tutorials first thing when I get some free minutes! (At school we only learned programming in basic, and it was a loong time ago *g*).

And to add some more goodness...I was able to get away from work to attend a bharata natyam (indian temple dance) workshop with the teacher who originally draw me to this...she is simply fabulous - I've never seen anyone else who can be so joyous and glad while dancing, and at the same time she just conveys the joy to all who are present. And she's teaching us the pantomime ABC from the start...and 3 new dances..and...oh, I'm just sooo happy!

ETA: And I finally managed to reach the same wavelength with the lj and install the banner to it's proper place. Yay!

Thanks...I tried this before, but unfortunately it did not work. With the instructions you provided, I can manage to make the lj empty the place where the banner should be, but it is still showing only blank background there. I'm sure I must be missing something somewhere...it's just acting like it's covering the banner with the background colour, but I can't find any place to tweak it.
Excuse me for a stupid question, but can I use the url you provided or should I definitely upload the image to somewhere else (I thought that maybe the lj is having the problem with the url)?
And thank you again...for the beautiful banner, for your kindness..and just, well, everything.

I'm not sure about imageshack's usage for things like this. You might try hosting it at photobucket. I know that a lot of people use it for their banners. I host my mood theme there, and I know that works. Or, you could host it on LJ if you have a paid account. They allow you a lot of space for uploading photos, and that's where my banner and lots of other things are posted.

Yep, I've tried it with the url from lj scrapbook (I do have a paid account). It still leaves the free room for the banner and then shows only the background colour. At least I know now that the scrapbook url should work. Grrrr...

Yay! The photobucket link worked! Thanks!
