LJ tech help

[resonant]

Can anyone explain to me in small words how to add a tag cloud or list to my journal? And maybe how to add my Goodreads reading list? And, um, this may entail teaching me how to add a side column? Or maybe you might just want to flee right now. I wouldn't blame you.

Edited to add: Right now I've got s2, The Boxer.

And on Goodreads I'm Res, if you want to friend me over there and read my pointless carping about the books I read. (Comment or e-mail and tell me who you are over there, so I'll make the connection!)

I'm on AIM if you still need som assistance, I can help you figure it out, I think.

To add links to your sidebar, on your profile page, go to the tab 'journal', click 'customize journal', then click on 'your link list' under the 'basics' tab.

The easiest way I know of to add a tag cloud is to just change your layout to one that already has a tag cloud, like 'Expressive'. There are lots of others, I'm sure. Go to 'journal', 'customize journal' then click the 'look and feel' tab.

Hope that helps!

Just got into librarything, didn't know goodreads *added you now*

Do you have the html for a tag cloud already? It's not hard to insert it into any layout with sidebar (as mentioned above) and your current layout also has enough space on either side to add something.

I friended you on Goodreads (as JC). Thanks for the pointer, it's a neat site!
