All special fonts have been embedded into the layout from Google Fonts.
Coding is a real pain to list here because now anything with a # creates tags in our system.
To get around this I'm sharing the coding via a code testing site where you can also see the layout working live. Click Live Preview above.
You may have to click VIEW IN EDITOR to see code.For those of use who are unwilling to switch from Flexible Squares for whatever our reasons (mine being I have yet to figure out the custom layers coding for Expressive and have many custom layer changes in FS), I have mad a version for Flexible Squares. It isn't completely identical though it is pretty close.

Expressive Instructions:
Because this is not Flexible Squares the attributes are called something different but I tried to put notes into the coding to help with this.
Header Image: So the header image is back on and different that previous Expressive layouts. #header-inner is the equivelant of .header-image. My header image is 300px in height. If you want to have a bigger header image there are settings you'll have to change in the coding. Here they are in order inside the coding:
Things that are different from Flexible Squares to Expressive:
Title & Subtitle: These are turned off for these layouts because they tend to interfer with things. You can turn it back on by removing the "display: none;" line in the coding.
Meta: Essentially any data on your post: date, title, comment section at the bottom and the skiplinks for editing your post. I like that these links are always at the bottom of your post but it can be a pain when you have a massive post like this one. LJ-cuts help when you are on your main journal and not within a post. Lj-cuts are our friends.
Names in Coding: The names of nearly all the coding areas are very different so there was a huge learning curve. Felt like my first tries with layouts but I've tried to make notes in the coding so you'll know if your familiar with Flexible Squares. I think I'm going to eventually post a "translation guide" which will help you and myself when creating. Going forward I'm going to try to translate a few layouts from the past into Expressive and anything new will be both.
Flexible Squares Instructions:
The headerimage height is flexible here and can be found at the very end of all the coding.
Also, you will notice the Sidebar titles are differently designed. You will find all these title codings with their respective sidebar coding. So you will find the Page Summary's title coding with the Page Summary coding in the Sidebar section. The only one this is not true of is the Free Blurb or custom text which is still just sbartitle.
