First thing... this place has a
new layout!. Even if you're not going to comment on the layout on offer, PLEASE comment on the new look :) It's a compilation of a whole bunch of new things that I've never ever tried before, and I'm quite proud of it! As you can see, there's quick links to all the layouts on offer, eventually, they'll be links to icons also. I just don't have enough yet to put that section in!
Anyhow, on with the new layout...

Instructions:
You need to copy and paste the overrides into an editting programme (notepad, Word etc) and change all the url's to point to your images.
Also, all 'username's to your own username (Edit>Replace).
You can add information about yourself at the point labelled 'ABOUT YOU'. This'll show in your navigation bar.
Then, you need to copy and paste the whole lot underneath and change all the LASTN to FRIENDS (ie two copies of the same code, one with LASTN heads, one with FRIENDS head). If you want this for your calendar page as well, then paste it a third time and replace all the LASTN with CALENDAR.
Finally, come back to livejournal and go
here. Make sure you're logged in!
Select 'Generator' for the style
Select 'Pink & Gray' for the color scheme.
Copy and paste your editted overrides into the overrides box at the bottom.
Hit save!
Instant eye candy!
