*beats html into a bloody pile of sludge*

[mousme]

Okay, help!

So I created a new LJ. I want to do something which is, for me, complicated with the comments. For people who are actually familiar with html, it should be a cinch.

So I'm appealing to all my friends who know how to use html and can do those stupid LJ-override things.

This is what I'd like: I want the comments to say "Rock my world" and then "I person has rocked my world" and then "x people have rocked my world" where x is any number greater than 1.

Think you can help a girl out with some coding for her overrides? Please remember this is a free LJ, so I can't create my own style. :)

Someone? Anyone?

:::ETA:::

It has been pointed out, quite rightly, that a few things were missing from this post:

1- I have already been through the FAQ and the extended-version FAQ, and tried to do this by myself, and it broke my brain. Trust me, I spent over an hour on this, and my brain is oozing over the hardwood floors of my apartment. Given that I just washed them today, I am not altogether pleased.

2- I'm using the Generator style, for those of you who are curious.

Which style are you using for your journal? Customization and override options sometimes vary depending upon the style. If you get me the name, I could probably get you the exact code you'd need.

Otherwise, you might want to peek at this FAQ (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=7) in the support section. It has a few links to the specific page(s) that should give you the information you need.

I tested this in a test journal I have and it worked with the Generator style as is. Copy and paste it into the Overrides: textbox on the Modify Journal (http://www.livejournal.com/modify.bml) page.

Also note that this does not modify what the links look like on your friends page. If you want to modify that, as well, you'll need to essentially duplicate what I have above in one of the sections (just copy and paste the DAY_TALK blocks, for example), but change DAY_TALK_LINKS and DAY_TALK_READLINK to FRIENDS_TALK_READLINK and FRIENDS_TALK_LINKS.

If you're using the S2 style system, if I remember correctly its just a matter of going into the style edit and slotting in what you want there...
