Totally new question relating to LJ and DW - because I'm a pest and y'all are so kind

[red_satin_doll]

How do I create box of link on my LJ and DW pages (linking back to one another or any other site)?  I've looked in settings on both and no dice.  (Or is there a tutorial-type website that covers a lot of these questions?)

At some point I will get back to those meta on Anne and dopplegangers in the 'verse.  I swear I will.

On Dreamwidth, go to My Account Settings. Underneath Crosspost Settings, there's a line labeled "Footer" which says "Add the footer to the post on the other site:" and a drop box. Select "Always" and then scroll down and hit "Save."

Oh I've already got that - rahirah helped me with those directions - what i meant was the link box that shows up on the sidebar of an LJ or DW journal, usually under the profile image or calender where you have links to your other website, blog etc.

Ah, okay. Here on LJ, go to "Journal Style" and then select "Customize your theme". On the side bar, you will see "Links List". Click that and then enter the name of the site you want to list first on the first line next to "10" and then the link to it underneath it. Keep going with the rest of the links you want to add on the subsequent lines.

Oh great, thanks! I didn't look very closely at the customize your theme section originally.

Glad I could help!

It worked, huzzah! Kid of far down the page in this theme but so what?

Hurrah!!!!

And now I took your directions over to Dw and did the same thing. Success in stereo!

IIRC it's the same way on DW. It's part of your customization page.

*nods* I realized that once I followed Gab's how-to directions for LJ, so now I've got it set up on both. (Although what was I thinking setting up two journals when my brain can hardly handle the one? I have no idea.) On this LJ template I'm using (Woodcut) the box is pretty far down the sidebar, but no big.)

Some layouts will let you move the various components around on the page - I'm not familiar with Woodcut in particular, but it's worth poking around that customization pages. :)
