How do I add a "Blurb" or Free Text to my journal?
Some layouts in the S2 style system allow you to enter a short piece of text that goes on your journal either as a "Blurb" or in the "About this Journal" section. This text can be added via the "Presentation" or "Sidebar" tab of the customization area at http://www.livejournal.com/customize/.
Details on the layouts that allow this Free Text can be found at http://www.livejournal.com/community/s2howto/13719.html.
Free Text areas can only contain plain text and cannot include any HTML formatting.
If you wish to add a Free Text area to a layout that does not support one, then you will need to create your own custom layer or style which is a benefit of a Permanent, Early Adopter or Paid account.
