How do I download a layout?
Downloading a layout is rather simple. There is a "Download" link available shown on each layout. Downloading a PHP version should only be done for people who are hosted on friends domains. As subdomains... or as just pages. Or even if you own your own domain. Free hosts don't handle PHP that well, if at all.
Make sure when you're asked to open or save, that you SAVE. These files are done on the fly if you don't save it to your hard drive and unzip it afterwards, it won't work. You'll have an empty zip folder.

How do I put my Layout on my Xanga, Tripod, Geocities, LiveJournal, Myspace, Freewebs, or other such free space providor page?
First of all, please notice that my site is hosted as a domain. I do not use any of the free services listed EXCEPT Live Journal. Though I myself do not use my Live Journal in that way. I do not have a fancy layout on there, mainly because I do not know how to put one up.
So please, do not IM me asking me how. I do not know. I've never used half the services as I've owned a domain for the past three-four years of my life. So once again, please do not IM me asking me, if I could help I would, but I can't so don't ask.

What do I open the Layout in?
When opening one of the free layouts, use NOTEPAD which is located on EVERY windows machine. You may also use programs such as Wordpad, Dreamweaver, or Front page. However it is recomended that you do NOT use Front Page, and do Not whatever happens use Microsoft Word... Do not use this program - AT ALL.

I want a custom Layout will you make me one?
You may notice that we use to have a custom Layout section, but we do not anymore, we even display some custom layouts but we don't have anywhere that you can request one. This does not mean you Email me asking me to make one.
Right now I don't have the time, this may change in the future, I have to get my life in order first, and I have to get this launched, my personal site launched, as well as my comic and may other items are on my list that have to be done. As it is right now, There are no custom layouts, sorry, feel free to check back and see if we place it back on though.

When I open the layout I get a bunch of squares?
When you open the layout if you end up with a bunch of squares (Happens in Notepad) it means the notepad on your computer does NOT have enough memory. The solution to this issue is to open it up in wordpad, right click the HTML file and go to "Open With" and then select Word Pad from the list. If it's not on the list, select "Choose Program..."
This will allow you to open it in wordpad and will make the squares go away. However be sure you do not save it in RTF format. And that you do NOT open word pad first then try to open the file. This -WILL- cause errors.

Why when I put your graphic on my site do I end up with this image that calls me a Thief!?
This is because you're stealing my bandwidth. That in it's own is NOT very nice. We've put up an image to discourage people from doing this. Now when you try to hot link an image from my site you'll get a pretty little "You've stolen from MiD" image.
We do know who you are.
We can find you.
And if you steal the graphics and claim them as your own we will black list you.
Woo big threat isn't it XD.
Please right click, and save the image to -YOUR- hard drive and then upload the image onto -YOUR- webspace. We do not provide image hosting.

How do I properly credit you? Take a quick look inside our "Link2Us" Section. There you can find little banners, buttons and even the html for a text link.
Feel free to link in which ever method you feel appropriate. We appreciate the credit from those who use our graphics. Keep in mind credit is mandatory for extreme use of the graphics and for all use of layouts.
Do not claim our graphics as yours that's rude.

I noticed you use my brushes - But I'm not Credited!
This -MAY- have happened. When I first started doing this, I wasn't very good, I downloaded things and didn't Note exactly where it all came from. IT's very hard when you make a database of brushes to remember EXACTLY who's brushes are whose. For the most part I only really use my own, the ones Wizzard donated to me and Miss M's from Rebel Heart. But I do use others. I've credited every site I'm AWARE of in my Credit's section.
However, like I mentioned when I first started doing this I wasn't very good, if I missed you, PLEASE let me know. Showing me where I used the brush and where it is on your site. I will give proper credit IMMEDIATELY. Thank you very much. (To contact me read above FAQ response.)
