Techie help request & other stuff

Does anyone know how to add a custom made mood theme to a community please?
It seems like you have to log in to do it but it's telling me that logging in as a comm has been disabled.
If I log in as myself (maintainer of the comm) I can only load themes for my personal journal.
*sigh*
I just wanted pretty boys to be in my mood theme! :-(

~*~

I went for my usual run yesterday, in fact I didn't even go very far - only about 3 miles - & my stupidbloodyknee went again. Aaaagh!



Only this time it's even worse. It was fine when I was running (I'd strapped it just in case) but when I slowed down to cool down it practically gave way & I limped home.
I checked the freezer but we had no ice so I ended up sitting there with a bag of frozen garlic mushrooms strapped to my leg.
*rolls eyes*
Well, they'd been in there since 2002 & were definitely expendable! ;-)
I rubbed it with muscle embrocation last night & hoped that would do the trick. No such luck though. I was walking Rascal this morning & practically limping the entire time.
It's not so much the pain that's bothering me as the frustration. I have a running schedule all planned out & now I can't train. :-(
I think part of the problem is that it's not healing very well (it's been an on-going problem for a while now) & this may be due to me not eating enough protein. I very rarely eat meat, especially not red meat, & I just don't think I'm getting enough essential amino acids needed for repair.
So I'm making a concerted effort to try to eat more protein & this will hopefully help it to heal.
*crosses fingers*

On a wonderfully positive note though - thank you so much willowwing, Rolling Stone just arrived with the gorgeous Orli & Sidi! ♥
Yay!
*huggles you tight*
Aw, bless! It says that Orli wears one of Sidi's teeth on his necklace!
*loves*

oh...I just got that ROLLING STONE the other day at the drugstore. I haven't even made it to the article yet, still looking at the pictures. :P

So is your knee something that requires surgery? or therapy or something? My friend had to have surgery on her knee years ago.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I really like the pic they have on the cover. It doesn't quite look real somehow, as if they've airbrushed it a lot. And there's no need for that - the boy's gorgeous! (g)
But I adore the one inside with Sidi draped around his shoulders. ♥

I'm hoping that my knee will sort itself out. It's just an injury that I picked up a few months ago & it won't seem to go away. :-(

<<I'm not sure I really like the pic they have on the cover.>>

I thought the same thing...it just looks...off; for some reason. (but I like the close up of the charms)

But I was walking through the store and thought I had missed the issue altogether actually, so seeing the larger than average picture on the cover first thing in the morning when you're not real awake made me stop dead in the middle of the aisle. lol

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I can imagine it would be rather arresting!
Aw, our boy's on the cover of The Rolling Stone!
Okay - I won't sing! ;-)

[dalehead.livejournal.com]

Do you take Glucosamine and MSM? Oh and cod liver oil - if you don't - start taking! When I get home I'll email you the addy of a v good mail order company based in one of the Channel Islands. I have a slightly wonky knee that was far better when I took glucosamine - just started again with it.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I do take cod liver oil but not glucosamine. Though weirdly enough I buy it in bulk for my dad when I'm over in the US! But as I don't have a trip planned for a while the Channel Islands addy would be much appreciated, thanks, sweetheart.

[sharonmarais.livejournal.com]

Ouch re your poor knee.

LOL re frozen mushrooms (good variation on the frozen peas we always use in our house)

I hope you get some relief from the knee problem cos it just makes running so miserable otherwise (not say impossile in certain cases).

HUGS and good wishes sweetie. and sorry I'm no help at all re the techie thing :-

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm hoping it'll get itself sorted out quickly.

[celtprincess13.livejournal.com]

Yargh, sorry to hear about the knee. I have a bad one myself, but I definately don't run. I hear peas are good as ice packs, I'm sure mushrooms were just as good. More fragrant too, I'd wager.

I bought Rolling Stone even tho' I didn't really have the money for it, cause I was afraid they'd sell out of it, cause you know, ORLI. The cover is eh, but you can see his charms really well (including Sidi's big ol' tooth).

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Well, garlic mushrooms was definitely an interesting aroma, I can tell you! LOL

Yeah - I don't really care for the RS cover but it is a great close up of his charms & Sidi's tooth! *loves*

Unfortunately you can't log in as a comm. grrrr... So, you have to go here: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/moodthemes.bml and create the new theme. (Make sure you change to the comm you want to customize in the "work as user" box.) Unfortunately there is no easy way to do it for a comm, like you would a personal LJ. It has to be done manually. *sigh*

Then, after you've created the theme, you have to go here: http://www.livejournal.com/modify.bml Change the user to the comm you want to modify. Then, choose the theme that you created from the drop down list.

If I wasn't clear (which is pretty likely) ;) just let me know, and I'll try to clarify. *hugs you*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!
*hugs*
This gives me a definite place to start. It's good to know that it is possible & not just me being mad or something! :-)
I'll tackle this tomorrow & let you know how I get on.
Thank you again, you're a star!

[mrsbean.livejournal.com]

So happy to help. :) If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I've done it!
*happy dance*
Though it did take a while. :-(
Thank you so, so much!
*hugs*

[mrsbean.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!

It is a pain in the arse, isn't it? But it's done! :D

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

A right royal one!
But worth it to have the boys in place. (g)
*hugs*

[willowwing.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you got it in one piece. On the customs form it asked for contents and I put magazine - the guy looked at it and said, "Oh, which one?" I told him it didn't matter - If I put Rolling Stone on the outside it'll never make it to her. LOL

*hugs*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

You're so right - rabid postal workers would've snagged that in no time wanting our lovely Orli & Sidi!!!
Thanks again - I really am thrilled. :-)
*sits & gazes adoringly at mag*

[willowwing.livejournal.com]

*yawns* I got my CD last night and stayed up way too late overdosing on Orlando.

*kisses your feet*

*bows to your greatness*

*worships you in general*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

You're so welcome, sweetheart.
Isn't he completely fabulous?
And couldn't you just cuddle him when he's on UK TRL?
*happy sigh*
I'm so glad that it arrived safely - they really did cross in mid-air! - & that you enjoyed it. :-)
*hugs*

[willowwing.livejournal.com]

Oh he was sooo adorable - pulling on those bloomers...I about fell out of my chair. Calling Alex sweatheart - twice by my count...*swoons* I watched it three times...and today is still young.

*hugs*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I know - 'sweetheart'!
*guh*
*happy sigh*

He was so relaxed & happy - you could tell this wasn't just another boring publicity thing for him. He really seemed at home & very natural.
Happy viewing!!

Pretty sure you might know... what is the story behind Orli's dog Sidi? Was he a stray or something?

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yes, he was a stray (still a puppy I think) hanging around the set of KoH in Morrocco. Apparently Orlando saw him eating camel dung (poor Sidi!) & he looked so small & scrawny. Orlando says that he only intended to rehome him but after a couple of days just fell in love with him & had to keep him. ♥
Now Sidi has his own pet passport (Orli said that he was 'a very British boy') & gets to travel with Orlando all around the world - he takes him to all his sets now. Currently Sidi is in the Caribbean hanging out while his Dad films PotC! (g)
Orlando has spoken about Sidi quite a bit in mag interviews lately (Sidi goes along on the press junkets too!) & also talked about him on the UK TRL. He called Sidi his angel - aw, bless! ♥
Sidi is even in the current issue of Rolling Stone!!! :-)
Um, okay - I seem to have rambled on a bit there.
Can you tell they're my OTP? ;-)

[araestel.livejournal.com]

Poor you! I thought *I* was the accident prone one. ;)

And I like the way you cheer yourself up. You cheered me up too! ;) *hugs*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Well, what was so annoying is that I didn't do anything - like slip or twist or anything. I just ran as usual & this happened!
Never mind - I think time & rest is the only thing to do now.

Glad you liked my medicine! LOL

[silvs-fiction.livejournal.com]

Oooooo - nice pretty boys - thank you!
*hugs*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

:-)))

[nieninque121.livejournal.com]

*hugs you tight*
*sends well wishes*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
It seems to be getting easier - just taking time.
*hugs*

[belleimani.livejournal.com]

::pets you and hands you aleve, ice pack and nekkid Orli::
I hope you're feeling better now sweetie.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Much better, thank you. :-)
And a nekkid!Orli is always appreciated...
*whimper*

[belleimani.livejournal.com]

I figured you'd like that!
