Inspired by Janci, I fiddled with my livejournal to see if I could get it to match my website. I can. I’m pleased at my success. Now I just have to live with the new set up for a week to decide if I really like it or if it bugs me. I also need to figure out where I can host an image so I can put a custom header on my page. (Yes I know Howard can do it for me, but I want to do it for myself.)
This also leaves the quandry of a title and subtitle. I know so many people with clever journal and blog titles. I’d like to have one, but I haven’t yet been able to find one that truly fits. I guess I’ll just have to keep my eye out to find one. However I suspect that this will not be easy. I have a hard time applying labels to myself unless they are a perfect fit. The major reason I’ve always gone by my real name on the internet is that I could never find a pseudonym that fit correctly.
I like it, but a custom heading would make it more interesting. My photos are hosted by photobucket.com, because they’re free, and they’ll host up to 1 GB of images. I recommend them.

Since you have a paid account, you should be able to upload something to pics.livejournal.com/sandratayler and link to it directly from your LJ layout.
Also: any particular reason why your layout doesn’t have usericons anymore?

Yeah, that is sad. It’s an option that’s easy to turn back on, if you want to.

That anonymous mess was me, by the way. Stupid internet.

For a title/subtitle; what’s your journal about? Bullet list a bunch of things and then see what comes to mind. Try find a short sentence that can encompass your interests.
Mine is “The High-Tech Redneck”. I’m a computer tech, with computers scattered throughout a 70 year old adobe house. I have a dead Chevy out front and there’s an old refrigerator out back, buried almost to the top (no idea why grandpa did that). Seems to make sense as being descriptive of an aspect of my life. Granted, it’s a rather visible aspect and not that indicative of who I am on the inside, unless you’re familiar with Jeff Foxworthy’s definition of Redneck: A glorious lack of sophistication. For those that know me, this becomes ironic, as I am somewhat sophisticated, when it come to literature, coffee and spirits, films, etc. Just not appearances.
As for my user name, I got into computers and BBS’ing back in the early 80’s. I just used the Elvish name I’d made up for myself, as a little kid reading Tolkien. Since I got an early start on this interweb thing, Google searches bring me up pretty quick. Only problem is when people misspell Pink Floyd’s guitarist’s name, David Gilmour and give it an ‘e’. Sigh.

Fixed now.

How about “The Sandy side of life” ?
