FAQ

CAN YOU MAKE ME MY OWN LAYOUT?
No, I'm sorry, not enough time. I have a life too! But you can suggest ideas/requests that everyone else can use too!
HOW DO YOU MAKE LAYOUTS?
It is much too complicated to explain, especially over comments.
CAN I CHANGE THE LAYOUT A LITTLE?
of course you can! however, you may not claim the codes for your own even after you've changed it. If you can change codes, surely you can make your own?
MY COMMENT BUTTONS AREN'T WORKING, AGH! HELP?
You probably haven't changed the code, put your username where it says 'putusernamehere', + also your user id where it says 'user id here'
WHEN I SAVE MY LAYOUT, ITS ALL JUST CODES?
you have not put it in 'source', click the source button and put the code there !
WHERE IS THE USER ID??
it's on your profile, just delete your layout and it will tell you underneath 'quote stats'
I SWEAR I'VE SEEN A LAYOUT LIKE THAT BEFORE ON ANOTHER SITE?
yes, you probably have, I recreate some layouts from other sites that I like to witty format and have attempted to contact the original maker of the layout. I put credit on the post, and it used to be in the title but I realized the title doesn't show on this layout, but I would delete it straight away if they had any objections.

if your question is not here, then feel free to ask me at captivated, however it might take a while because I have schoolwork and a life. Sorry girls!

how to make the layouts work

hello, you have come here because you do not know how to change the layout, is that correct?
well, never fear, I am here to help. Okay, so first of all, get the code that you like and copy and paste the code into somewhere like word, or textedit, because they are MUCH easier to see the codes then edit profile on witty.
have you done that? okay good! now. just scroll through from the top of the code down, looking for places that say things like 'put title here', 'put username here', 'put status here', etc you get the picture. I have put those there so that all you have to do is find those 'put ---- here' things and replace it with your own things! For example, if it says 'put about me here', then write your about me in that space.
remember to also change the things that are a little harder to see on your links, such as 'your username here' + 'user id here'.
to get your user id, simply delete your layout, it will tell you your user id (it is a number) under quote stats.
after you have double checked that you have filled out everything that you need to where I have specified you to change ('put ---- here'), copy and paste that code into the source of your edit profile. Click save, and it should be working! If it hasn't, you have probably accidentally changed the code where you were not supposed to. remember to take out the '' as well when it says put --- here as well! If you are not sure of what you are doing, then do not change the code where I have not put any 'put ---- here' because I will not fix it for you, sorry.

if you still don't understand how to get your user id, ask me. If you have any other questions, just check the FAQ page before you ask me.
Oh, and make sure to comment captivated saying that you have used the layout!

music players

THIS IS ABOUT THE MUSIC PLAYERS, IF YOU WANT ONE PLEASE READ

okay so apparently hypster is super lame and will only let me have 5 playlists at a time..

I'm sorry but I won't be able to make any PREMADE music players.

don't let this turn you off the music players though, because it is very fast for me to do, you will probably get it back in about a day (time zones sorry)

so here's how it's going to go.

IF YOU WANT A MUSIC PLAYER, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE PLAYLIST AND GIVE THE CODE TO ME :)

here's how:

go to hypster.com, create an account, and a playlist.

done that? go back to 'my account'. To the right of your screen, there should be a cassete picture and something saying 'player skins'. Click it.

It will take you to another page. Select 'classic player'.

It will give you the option of shuffle mode being turned on, autoplay being turned on, which playlist you want to choose, and the colors. Make sure the playlist that you want to make into your music player is selected.

click on 'hypster original', and go down to 'customize'

make ALL OF THE COLORS except for the 'button color' white.

You can make the 'button color' whatever color you like, in my opinion black looks the best, though.

press 'update', and copy the 'embed code' (on the right)

go to http://sharetext.org/ (if it isn't working you can use http://freetexthost.com/ which is slightly different but still very simple to use)

paste the code into the box where it tells you to 'paste or type your text here', and click 'post text'

send me the URL (e.g. http://sharetext.org/BUDH) to that page, so that I have access to the code.

I will then make the music player for you, and give it to you.
Please note that the music player is white, and wont look as good on a white background. These players can also get in the way of layouts, if this is so please tell me so I can fix it properly.

I'm sorry but this is the only way that I can make all of your music players for you.

if you have any further questions, please comment me at captivated.

I'm sorry everyone, I can't be on witty anymore.
It's nothing to do with the website,

I just don't have time for it anymore,

and I've outgrown it.

My website will remain open, but I won't be on to make music players.

stay strong, be yourself, and remember you're beautiful.

Update: you no longer have to comment on my page when you use a layout. I get too many comments if that happens. Thanks xo

if you are another layout maker (or just going to make your own layout), if you are going to use the code for drop down menus, you need to put credit link to me on the layout. The drop down menu code took an extreme amount of time to work out.

To every one of the lovely people that come to my layout website.

Thank you for being so supportive of me while I've been gone. I apologise for the need to have a break, but it was truly needed. Let me explain why I have had to leave. In Australia, the school system is very different, as are the seasons. When America and the majority of the world has summer, we have winter, and vise versa. This january, I was on summer break, and went back to school about a month ago. How the school system in australia works is we have kindergarten, prep, year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the primary school, 7, 8, 9 & 10 in the high school, and year 11 and 12 in college.

College is where everything really steps up to a higher level, as I have found out since starting college this year. I am doing a course called International Baccalaureate (IB) in college. This diploma is very hard, there is countless amounts of work and study to do within my week. Trying to keep up with work, my social life, my boyfriend and also witty was being extremely stressful. I just could not handle with the stress that witty was giving me, especially with the increase of people taking my codes. The break was for me, and for me only, to try and decrease my stress levels.

I will be back to continue making layouts, as long as people are aware of the fact that I am actually a person. I have less free time, and school, my friends and boyfriend are first priority on top of witty. I do get stressed, and upset when things happen, and I will ask you for your patience on that. However, I promise you that layouts will still be made, even if they are only coming out twice a month or so. I apologise for this fact, but witty is something that I do in my spare time which has been sharply decreased this year.

I will also probably be very slow with comments, because of the limited amount of free time I have. They will get answered to eventually though, I promise.

Thank you for your understanding.

I love you all.

Lucy xo
