New Journal Banner

[strangetomato]

Allow me to direct your attention to my new banner. *grins* I changed my page theme and figured out how to use some basic CSS to add my own banner.  I'll have to read up on it to figure out how to refine everything to make it just so (if you know how to center things in CSS, I'm all ears), but it will do for now. I've been thinking about adding a banner like this for a while now, and it feels good to actually do it.

They're quite the ensemble cast, and that's not even half of the characters.

Thank you. You should give it a try too, if you're interested in it. It's a nice way to show what your story is all about for any new visitors to your journal.

Sims stories can really start to pile on the characters after a while, can't they? Mine is just ballooning out of control, but I'm trying to keep the focus on the key players, even though some new characters are entering the story.

I think it would be a good idea. I put all those family photos in my userinfo, but I'm sure eventually somebody would ask questions and not even bother looking.

Oh yes they do! I can't believe that I already have more than 20 main sims already. Some of them haven't even had their introduction yet, but they still will be important in the long run. Yeah, it's good that you just put the key players in. To make the banner have EVERYONE would be a bit confusing for new readers, not to mention hell to shoot.

I just checked your user info page. That looks great. :D I have a number of things on my user page too that I'm sure nobody ever reads, like some info about downloads (I'll eventually do a resources post to replace that). I really need to do an updated character profile page. It's on my to-do list.

The image would have been too crowded if I tried to include anyone else, even though I would have loved to stick the bands in there and the clones. I really almost put Erin and the clones there, since they all have their role to play, but I settled for the bare essentials. I didn't even include the Curious alien children (but that's partly because they've aged up to children in the game and they haven't in the story).

Thanks! :) I think it will work for now, since my story is still in the beginning. Yes, a character profile would be a good thing. I know whose who, but I always have a problem remembering who has what personality trait- even with my own sims!

Hehe, so you play ahead with your families too. It's kind of hard not to, isn't it?
