Layouts, Codes, Tutorials, & Resources

Hey there, I'm Tess!

Welcome to my blog; I make lots of different layouts, codes, tutorials, and other resources for Insanejournal and Dreamwidth RPers! There's a lot to choose from and brand new content goes up every week!

Take a look around, and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it!

Can't get enough resources? Why not subscribe to my Patreon for exclusive monthly content, or support the creation of more content by leaving a tip on Ko-Fi! ♡

Need an invite?

If you're unable to comment on my journal to ask for help now that anon has been turned off due to serious spam issues, don't worry! Just shoot me an email and I'll send you an invite code for Insanejournal. I've got plenty to spare!×

Please Note:

I do not offer assistance with any sites other than IJ and DW unless it is for general HTML and CSS (ie. custom hosted pages and similar.) I cannot convert a code to a new site's rules because there are a lot of niche RP sites, and I have no way of knowing each one's limitations and caveats. Sorry about that!

Tessss, I know you did a tutorial on doing a fixed nav header which used the details tag for some dropdown links but I can't find it for anything right now!!! Can you help me out? :)

Absolutely! That was actually a layout add-on and not a step-by-step tutorial. The post is here!

So follow up question lol - I am using it here, but the little submenus get hidden behind the entries instead of displaying on top of the overall layout - is there a way to fix that? :)

Okay, so this is actually super weird LOL. Usually it's just in need of a z-index, but that didn't fix the issue; I've tried a bunch of things and none of them want to work, so I'm a little stumped on this one. I'm going to keep troubleshooting and I'll let you know if I figure out what's causing it!

Ah! Of course as soon as I leave you a comment I realize what the issue is. Alright, if you put z-index:2; into #beta you should be all set!

#beta{position:sticky;top:2vw;z-index:2;}
