In other words, I have a new layout.
It was such an experience for me that I decided to write an image map guide of sorts.
There are three ways of creating the image-mapping effect (that I'm aware of):
1. Image-mapping proper. (

2. CSS and image positioning. (
3. The ugliest coding hack ever seen, as done by self.
Incidentally, anyone with a free account can make a layout like mine. What I did works for the Generator style for a free account on the S1 system.
The Most Important Things I Found Out about Image Mapping the Way I Did It
1. Background images in LiveJournal cannot be used as image maps. At least, not for free accounts.
I'm not sure what the status is with paid accounts, because I wasn't yet able to figure out the Variable Flow style. *hides from
2. For the LASTN_WEBSITE override to be used in LJ, you must first define a website on your Personal Info.
3. You don't have to image map by using the x- and y- coordinates. This software does it. It's the Coffee Cup Image Mapper. It's a trial version, which only works for a month, but it's great.
Tutorials
Every time I want to do something on LJ, I go everywhere I can to find out if there're tutorials to tell me what to do. And there were.
I relied extensively on tutorials from
