Second attempt at making an LJ layout - I was feeling antsy and this relaxes me. (Weird, right?) Anyway, it's just a simple little thing with a few pretty green colors that I enjoyed. Feel free to modify to your heart's content; also, you may want to save the background and header images to your own Photobucket, or else you run the risk of losing them should I ever delete them.

Live Preview Pretty simple, I think:
1. Go to
Customize Journal and pick a Flexible Squares layout. I used Blue Gray, but it really doesn't make much difference what color scheme you pick, as the CSS below modifies most of the colors.
2. Once you've picked a Flexible Squares layout, click the "Customize" button, which will take you to the customization wizard.
3. Once you reach the Wizard, click the link in the sidebar that says "Custom CSS". Make sure that you change the drop-down menu to "No" for all three drop-down menus. Then, just copy/paste the following code into the entry box, hit Accept, and voila!
4. This layout is good for paid, plus, and basic. I used a plus account putting it together, which is why you might notice a small space of green at the top and bottom of the previews. These, unfortunately, have to be changed in "Customize Journal Style" > "Colors". Change the following to #98B369 - "Background color of the outer table" under Page and "Border color of the content and header/footer boxes" under Entries. This is only for Plus accounts - nobody else will have the ad problem.
