There should be a place on LJ where I can shamelessly ask dumb ass questions.

I love my layout a lot. However, it doesn't show up when you comment on my entries.

How do I make you all see my awesome layout when you comment on my journal?

Haha, I hear you. I used to go to the trouble of restyling my whole LJ every time I posted a large fic so there would be supporting elements in the sidebars and matching headers and blah, blah. I was actually kinda heartbroken to hear a lot of people wouldn't even read just because of that. So, right before I posted my big bang I took the plunge and went to default comment pages, and I've never regretted it. It really is easier to read and there's more room, so if I do put in pics or whatever, I don't have to worry if they fit.

Yeah, I use default comment pages as well.

It's really disappointing how many fic writers use all these fancy layouts that *look* great, but either a) make the fiction itself really hard to read or b) make commenting really hard to do. It's like the war between aesthetics vs. 'hey I'm using the internet to interact, not to be locked out of interacting.'
