After the great response I got from the last layout I offered up to the public, I've been thinking of another one I can do. I wanted to follow in the same group, Super Junior, but I couldn't see how I was going to follow up the last one and still be original. Then it hit me: pairings. Not all of them, of course. That's just crazy. But some.
There will be time for loving Liz later, for now we must get through this post.

And now for the most in-depth thing you will probably ever see on this journal... a full walk-through, in case you just can't manage to figure it out:
A few things to note before we get started
--> This is a basic layout that works for users with Free, Paid or Permanent accounts.
--> I have tested how this looks in a Paid account. While it's not horrible looking, I do not recommend it. See:
here.
--> I also tested what it looks like with the nav bar. It's just fine, so no worries there. See: here.
--> This layout was tested at 1024x768 resolution. I don't have any other resolution to try it out on, so my guess is it probably looks best on that.
Ok, now that that is out of the way...
Installing the layout
The reason I get specific with this is because I've made custom layouts for people in the past and have had to walk them through it step by step. If you know how to install and edit the code yourself, that's great and power to you. You can skip most of this. But not everyone is as cool and hip to the jive as you are and have never had to put in a layout code before. See? Liz is so nice to spend this kind of time.
First, and this is very important, you MUST specify a personal website in your userinfo. This is needed for your banner and navigation links to work.
Now, go to Manage > Customize in your menu.
Make sure S1 is ticked under Style System and hit the save button at the bottom.
Next click "Custom Options". You will now enter the code included in this post into the Overrides box.
The code:
FRIENDS_WEBSITE<=
|
<=FRIENDS_WEBSITE
DAY_TALK_LINKS<=
|
<=DAY_TALK_LINKS
LASTN_TALK_LINKS<=
|
<=LASTN_TALK_LINKS
GLOBAL_HEAD<=
My OTP is more canon than yours
<=GLOBAL_HEAD
FRIENDS_TALK_LINKS<=
|
<=FRIENDS_TALK_LINKS
LASTN_TALK_READLINK=>%%messagecount%% comment%%mc-plural-s%% //
LASTN_DATE_FORMAT<=
%%daylong%% %%monshort%% %%d%%, %%yyyy%% %%12h%%:%%min%% %%ampm%%

<=LASTN_DATE_FORMAT
FRIENDS_TALK_READLINK=>%%messagecount%% comment%%mc-plural-s%% //

You must edit the code in a few places to customize it for you.
First, you must enter a banner url code in. Feel free to use the location these banners are currently hosted, as it's my LJ gallery and I have a permanent account so no worries about size and bandwidth, really.
Regarding the pairings chosen:
I recetly ran a poll on my journal asking for the opinions of the genius SuJu lovers on my flist. With those answers, I figured the most popular pairings and made banners. >If you feel cheated somehow and wish to have one made of your pairing of choice, feel free to leave a comment here and I'll see what I can do. Oh, no CinHae or KangChul. Just no. Don't even think to ask. No.
Side Note: KyuWook was very popular in the results, but I couldn't make it because of my lack of pictures. In the case of a pairing like this, if you request the banner to be made, be prepared to provide four, fairly sized, non Black and white pictures.
Unfortunately, I no longer allow requests. I hope you fin what you're looking for in the offered banners.
The banners:
HanHae HyukHae HyukMin KangMin KangTeuk KangYeh KiHae KyuMin ShiChul ShiHan YehHan YehWook YoungJae Once you have selected your banner, scroll down in your code and find the banner alteration section as shown in the image:
Near the beginning of the code, you'll find a section that starts with "FRIENDS_WEBSITE". Enter your image code where it says "
http://BANNERHEREKTHNX". Just replace that. Now scroll down in the code until you find a similarly coded section headed "LASTN_WEBSITE" do EXACTLY the same thing to the code here as you did in the "FRIENDS_WEBSITE" section.
Last part. To make it so your links have your username in them, you must make a few small alterations. Near the beginning of the code again, go back to "FRIENDS_WEBSITE". In that section, you'll see the place you need to alter:
Enter your own username where it says YOURUSERNAME.
as above, scroll down to "LASTN_WEBSITE" again and do EXACTLY the same thing to the code here as you did in the "FRIENDS_WEBSITE" section.
Save your settings.
And that should be it.
If you have any questions, you can comment here or contact me on AIM (Degac Creep).
Credit is awesome
As frequest visitors of this comm know, I like my credit. As I did not put the credit right in the code like I could and should have, crediting it some other way would be most appreciated.

For those of you who weren't around for the last layout I shared, here's where you can find it:

SuJu Layout Earlier last year (Feb, I think) I put together a Super Junior mood theme that can be used by Paid account holders. Recently I reuploaded the file for someone to use and it still works, so for those of you who never saw it:
