That's pretty much all there is to changing your layout.
Here are the list of communities that could help you:
s2styles
layout_lounge
ljstyles
ljlayouts_help
everything_lj
Or you can just search layouts in the search bar :)

If you don't want to make your layout, and you want to use someone else's layout that they made, here are a list of communities with premade layouts:
(Please remember to credit. There should be a set of instructions that comes with each of the layouts that people made.)
appleleaf
cartonage
butterflybox
premade_ljs
losing_light
There are many more communities out there with premade layouts. These are only a few.

Hope you enjoyed this "tutorial" and good luck with the layouts :D
