Title of /customize/

[fae]

Poking around on the mood theme pages this cropped up.

The /customize/ page is currently labeled as "Select Journal Style" which is a bit clunky when referring to it -- "You can change blah blah at the Select Journal Style page"

Talked with people in IRC about this and the following options were given as suggestions:

* Journal Options
* Journal Appearance
* Journal Style
* Customize Journal Style
* Something else

So. Which do you like? What do you hate? Any other suggestions?


----

On /manage/moodthemes.bml I have temporarily changed this link to the 2nd option (Journal Appearance) at rho's suggestion, but this is totally open to change. (And am stating this here so I can go back and change it if necessary. Memory, I do not has it.)

------

Edit -- Journal Style seems to be the most popular option. So let's go with that! :D

I'd prefer Journal Style - it keeps the term we're all familiar with, that's used all over the place ("Style") rather than introducing a new one ("Appearance"), but it's less clunky than the old name.

Edit: Yay! I can change my userpic after posting when I forget to pick the appropriate one. *loves this feature*

i like "journal style". journal appearance still seems clunky and journal options is just slightly so.

Journal Style works. Like Cesy says, it's less clunky, and there's no question what it's for.

I think...

* Journal Options could be too easily confused with Manage Account.
* Journal Appearance is good-ish.
* Customize Journal Style is too long.

I'd vote Journal Style, and then rename /customize/options.bml to be something like "Further $something" (though I don't know what...) as it works as a nice go-between in the middle of the initial style selection, and the advanced styles/layer editing.

Customize Journal Style seems like it'll be as likely to be clunky as Select Journal Style (even though it seems clearer to me), so I like Journal Style, even though the page isn't just styles.

Style and Appearance would be clunky, too, I guess, but that seems like it'd fit best...

Journal Style

Journal Appearance is more inclusive than Journal Style, but since the lingo people are used to when talking about journal customizations deals in styles or themes... oh, there's a thought. Styles and Themes? Would that be better?

I use "Customize Journal" for my personal link to the page.

"Journal Options" does sound like it could be confused with "Manage Account"
"Journal Appearance" I just don't like.
I don't prefer the word "style" for my own use.

[syntheid]

I always refer to that as the "customize" page, personally... because the link is "customize." I'm seconding rainbow that I don't use "style" at all when referring to those options, so I'd probably rather just have "Customize Journal" as well.

i like Journal Style, but could settle for Journal Appearance. The first is more, i dunno, LJ-y, and the second is less so, but more literal, leaving less room for confusion.

[rho]

What did you decide on for this in the end?

[fae]

Journal Style seems to be the popular pick from people, and I don't think it's going to get more comments, so we'll go with that? *goes to edit the post with the decision*

[rho]

Yeah, that sounds good to me. I think I might rename the FAQ category to use the same wording as well.
