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 .

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.
I recommend you 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/layout03/ and http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/pg_layouts/tiny_icons03/ with your url.

If you have a PAID ACCOUNT and if there are more than 5 elements in your navigation menu (recent entries, archive, friends... ) you'll have to add a line of code at the very end of your stylesheet, so the navigation menu don't go over the sidebar.
If you have 6 elements, add this line: #sidebar { padding-top: 154px; }
If you have 7 elements, the padding will be 176px (154+22=176).
Etc.

Further customizations

How do I add a header?
Copy and paste this code at the end of your stylesheet:
/*Header picture*/ .subtitle { display: none } #header { padding-top: 100px; background: #313131 url(http://www.mysite.com/myheader.jpg) center top no-repeat; }
Change the URL
Replace 100 with the height of your header - 60px.
For example, if the height of your header is 300px, write 240px.
(300px - 60px = 240px.)

How do I change the width of the layout?
Find this line in the code and change the width: #content { width: 900px;

How do I change the color scheme?
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_yellow2.gif) to your image host.

How do I turn on the moodtheme pictures?
Find this line in the code: .currentmood img {display: none;} and erase it.
