You should upload the pictures to your own server.
All the pictures are hosted at my
Photobucket account and I don't know for how long they'll remain online.
Please upload the pictures to your own image host if you can.
Paste the code into Notepad or any other text editor and replace
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/pg_layouts/layout01/ and
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/pg_layouts/tiny_icons01/ with your url.
Comment and credit
If you use the layout, please comment, and credit
passing_girl in your userinfo.
You can paste this code into your
userinfo:
Layout by . If you don't type in a subtitle...
There will be no white space between the top menu and the first entry.
To prevent this, add this code at the end of the css code: #header { padding-bottom: 35px; }
(You don't need to add this line if your journal has a subtitle or if you use
a header picture)

Further customizations
How do I change the header?
Copy and paste this code at the end of the css code:
/*Header picture*/
.subtitle {display: none;}
#header {padding: 0px 0px 35px 0px;}
.headerimage {
height: 100px;
background: url(
http://www.mysite.com/myheader.jpg) top center no-repeat;
}
Replace 100 with the height of your header, change the url.
How do I change the color scheme?
The first color is the main color of the layout, the second one is the color you see when you go over the links.
For example, if you want a pink layout with yellow (instead of cyan).
Search through the "pink" css code and replace:
- "cyan" with "yellow".
- "#28B2E3" with "#FFBE22".
Don't forget to upload the yellow pictures (bg_yellow.jpg, user_icon_yellow.gif and com_icon_yellow.gif) to your image host.
How do I hide the sidebar?
Add this at the end of the css code:
#sidebar { display:none; }
#maincontent { padding: 0px 20px 0px 20px }
How do I change the width of the layout?
The default width of the layout is 795px, if you want a 700px layout, replace the header and the footer pictures with these:
header.jpg,
footer.jpg
and paste this code at the end of the css code:
#content { width: 700px; }
Please note that if the width of the layout isn't 795px or 700px the rounded corners at the top and the bottom of the page won't be visible.
Feel free to modify the footer and the header pictures so they fit the width of your layout.
How do I turn on the moodtheme pictures?
Find this line in the code: .currentmood img {display: none;} and erase it.
