Help !

[chani]

frances_lievens and I are making a LJ community to fit my idea of a Salon in which we could discuss everything, like they did in the 18th Century.

I'll keep this LJ as an interface between my LJ friends and me and for fandom stuff, but the community will be devoted to films reviews, tv reviews, book reviews, art and discussions on everything philosophical or sociological, or meta etc...

I hope the community will be operational from Wednesday on, but neither she nor I are very versed in computery stuff (ok she's far better than me, she's doing the customizing !) so we could use some help from LJ users who have mastered html, artwork etc...

For instance we'd need an icon for the community, an icon that would suit the idea of a Salon. A header perhaps too?

If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

I agree it's a 21st century salon.

BTW I'm explaining what our inspiration was in the user info page. I'll need you to check it out!

Good work! I've written a slightly similar blurb for the guestbook (which should be our first post on Wednesday...) I'll email it to you once I've went over the French spelling.

I uploaded a userpic!

It's a picture I took in Versailles...no don't worry it isn't a 18th century salon. It's something else...

BTW I wanted to use a Pascal's quote for the loaction, you know the one defining God: "a circle whose circumference is nowhere and centre everywhere", but oculdn't make it show.

Noticed the location didn't show. Maybe it doesn't show locations with a community?

I like that userpic. I'm making some more and will upload those in my photobucket, so you can view and choose there...

(some are 18th century, though... I'm breaking my own rules!)
