That's something you can do on Wordpress, but on LJ the closest you're likely to get is style=mine.

There#d doubtless be some way of making that possible for OpenID users fairly easily, the DW navstrip helps with that I think.

There's a more obvious 'view in my style' on the LJ navstrip, as well.

It's just a shame, because I personally hate using style=mine for ay journal other than my own; it was designed to display my journal/friends page ad looks odd with anyone else's. But I want an accessable journal that I can read (I need light-on-dark) and you and Jennie can read without having to use style=mine. For me, format=light is the best option usually, but it loses stuff.

I never have a problem with a short term looking at someone's layout, at all, it's long periods, and I look at my friends page a lot, thus need it to be non-bright.

Your layout has always been fine, it's large spans of white that really seem to start hurting, hence I have a bookmarklet to kill white backgrounds and similar.

I believe the LJ my style option is paid only, and it then sets a default whereas DW is for everyone, and just changes the view--it also includes format light, which is an added bonus.

Oh I do have problems with short term looking at violent colours, and large fonts like the current default. That's why I use the LJ-cut unfolder, and need to set LJ-Addons to be Dreamwidth as well.

I have no idea what's available for free vs paid users on LJ. I'll probably run into all sorts of problems when my DW account switches back to free as well.*clings to my icons *
