How each entry on your older.html page will look

I would prefer if you downloaded this image onto your own server. Do so by rightclicking on the words "this image" and choosing "Save Target As." Then save it somewhere on your desktop. If you do not have Diaryland Gold membership, you should upload it onto an image host. Then replace the text http://design.lookingatstars.com/archives/mascara.gif (it appears once in the entry page code, and once in the archives page code) with the URL address of the image (the address will be provided by the image host once you upload the image. Don't forget to include http://). For more info, see 'Installing Diaryland Templates.'

Hey, great designs... I'm an IT idiot, so it will take me time to adjust the template. I'll link you to my writer's site too. m.

This one worked, so I "borrowed" it from you!:) Is there a way I can link to "older entries"? I can't seem to fit that in. Also, my heading is now "Making It Up," can I change it back to my old "My World, My Perception?" Thanks! I love your designs!

This is the first sight I have been to where I could actually get the template to work. Thank you so much not only for creating such a beautiful design but also making it easy enough to use.

i think it's pretty cool of you to offer up your designs for free, and this one is exceptionally beautiful. i figured that a lot of people would be using it for diaryland, but after i read your post and went to the link....i realized i am the first so far, which is cool as well. anyways, thanks again!
