1. How the bloody hell do I remove the Track This, Tell A Friend, Edit Tags, Add and to Memories links in my link bar? I've tried many things in the past, this most recently, but nothing works. I also remember being able to put a divider image between the links with Flexible Squares, I think... is there a way to do it with Smooth Sailing?
SOLVED with this.

2. I don't even know where to start looking to find an answer to this, so I'm just going to ask. The space between the linkbar and the subject of the next entry is way too small: example. Please, please tell me there's a way to fix it!
SOLVED, thanks here_be_dragons!

3. I remember a tutorial for how to set up a basic layer that you can then add your various coding to. I can't find it now. The last time I tried to mess around with the layers on my own, I ruined things royally. So I'm hoping someone has that tutorial handy.
SOLVED, thanks here_be_dragons!

Many thanks in advance!
