So. Um. Given that I've been out here for a couple of years now, and redone this thing a couple times, this seems like a silly time to be asking, but... if'n I were going to be monkeying with the look of this place, would any of you know where to start, resource-wise?

I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, and just play around indiscriminately until I get something not awful. I have a paid account, though, and an idea of the header that I want, so it's time to give it a shot. Perhaps I should actually learn what I'm doing, this time around, you know?

Any info would be greatly appreciated, all you LJ-savvy folks. *puppy eyes of doom*

When I was asking I got linked to:
http://community.livejournal.com/lj_design/8831.html
and to s2expressive cause I was adapting the expressive style. But I've got a bit of CSS experience.

I always use
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/
for my coding tips - they're pretty easy to work out!

And if you've got something specific, I'm happy to look at code or whatever ;)

Aha! Thank you! I'm checking out all of the above and monkeying shamelessly. Once I get something vaguely functional I might take you up on the audiencing offer. First, though, I've got to get past the "Wait, why the heck did it just do that?!" stage. I'm so lazy; I cheat and use Dreamweaver for all my website stuff. *g*
