Credits
I could not find a decent starter sheet for Bloggish so I asked
grrliz and used one of hers layouts as a base (
Holiday in Vegas @
thefulcrum)- any bugs you find are due to my tweaking the code till its barely the same anymore >__<

Customization Instructions
If you want to add a header and change colors
- Download the code here
- Open it in a text editor
- Refer to the customization instructions bellow
- You MUST upload the code to a web server. I use awardspace myself.
- Follow the instructions above for IJ or/and LJ and just change the URL with the stylesheet you uploaded.
- Adjust the credits accordingly
If you want to add your own header, add this code to the end:
#banner h1, #banner h2 {
display:none; }
#banner-inner {
background: url(YOUR IMAGE URL HERE);
background-position: top center; /* Change to whatever position you want */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Can be changed to repeat, repeat-x or repeat-y */
background-color: #000; /* Change to whatever color you want */
height: 200px; /* The height of your image */
}
If you want to change colors, do find/replace for the following codes:
Blue links are #007ba7
Orange titles are #E35E00
Green ljuser links are #85B800
You are free to make any changes - only requirement is to comment and credit. Oh and if you do try to customize it beyond the instructions listed, please refer to
