If you know what you're doing, you're welcome to further customize this layout. Please give proper credit to circa77.

CREDIT IS REQUIRED FOR USE. It is the polite thing to do to let other people know where you got your layout. Acceptable crediting would be linking circa77 in your userinfo, or someplace obvious on your sidebar.
