How to install:
1. head to: http://livejournal.com/customize

2. select a flexible squares layout (Blue/Grey) /search theme: Flexible squares/

3. Customize theme or go here

4. Make sure all colours are on default (i haven't checked this but just to be safe ^^;)

5. Click on: Custom CSS, make sure all three dropboxes are set on NO

6. Copy and the above code (in the textbox) and paste it into Custom Stylesheet textbox.

8. If you want to add a header: See below for instructions.

9. Press Save Changes and you should be all done!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

preview:






For those of you who wish to add a header:
look for the following bit of coding and edit it like it stands here:

.headerimage {
position: relative;
width: 750px;
height: 000px; (replace 000 by height of the header)
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 5px;
background-image: url("PLACE URL TO IMAGE HERE");
background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

for instance: for the live preview the coding looks like this:

.headerimage {
position: relative;
width: 750px;
height: 406px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 5px;
background-image: url("http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d126/latsma/Lj_Lay-outs/header021.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

------------------------------------------------------------
rules:
don't edit!
don't steal!
don't hotlink!

(ofcourse you can just forget about the entire layout and just snitch a header... please do credit me if you do okay? xD;)














------------------------------------------------------------
Constructive critisism is greatly appreciated. And i'd love to know if this layout works in other browsers and resolutions! (please leave a comment ^^; ) please report any and all bugs/coding errors you may find!

A great thank you to irinafan@cartonage without whose Flexible squares CSS guide I wouldn't have been able to pull this off!
