just like the movies
s2 flexible squares
→
IMAGE PREVIEW →
LIVE PREVIEW instructions
→ Go to
CUSTOMIZE and choose any S2 Flexible Squares layout, apply it, then scroll down and make sure ads are set to BETWEEN ENTRIES and sidebar placement is on the LEFT.
→ Go to
CUSTOMIZE JOURNAL STYLE and then to
CUSTOM CSS.
→ Set dropdown menus to YES/NO/YES, paste the code in, and save!
→ This is just a preference thing, but I also went to
DISPLAY and set the controlstrip to LIGHT GRAY.
→ Another preference thing: I highly recommend disabling a default userpic in your sidebar, because it looks weird with the sidebar image.
→ Because I'm weird I feel the need to mention that this layout is named after the Regina Spektor song, not the Katy Perry one lol.

To change the colors, please go
HERE and insert the stylesheet into the textbox; it will give you the HEX codes and the color each one represents. To change the
SIDEBAR IMAGE. Your sidebar image/gif absolutely must be 230x130 unless you know CSS well enough to change the things that need changing to allow for a different size.
notes
Hidden: Title and subtitle.
Custom: Comment page, archive page, tags page, tinyicons by Famfamfam, easily changed header image.
credit
Credit when using this layout is a must, no matter how much you change in the code. Comments are nice, but not necessary.
You can credit in your profile with a text link, lj usertag going to layouttesst, or a
button (in your journal's linklist or blurb is fine too).
rules
→ Leave my credit in the stylesheet.
→ You may change colors, fonts, widths, etc.
→ That's it!
