I can totally fix all of these things! Seriously. It makes me all sad that LJ seems to be hating on you (I have no idea what's going on with the ads) but if you would like help, I have various solutions that I can offer.
I had a similar hatred for LJ when I started out, and I'm still a wee bit suspicious of Twitter, but for the most part, it seems these things get better. I promise.
E, you are a gift straight from the Gods. Have I told you that recently? I have become down with Twitter (mostly) but that was due to a lot of hand-holding. If you are willing to provide hand-holding in an LJ capacity, I believe maybe I will one day form a tentative, somewhat begrudging respect for it.
Throw me your solutions. I could not possibly do any worse.
Okay, I think the ad thing should be sorted and if it's not, then I might just have to write someone a sternly worded letter (which I'm very good at, y'know, just as some completely useless trivia).
As for layouts, I got mine from here - and they have some pretty easy step by step instructions as to how they work and you don't even have to understand codes and such. It getss rid of the orange! They don't involve nice pictures of B&B, but as a reformed html nerd, I could totally work that out... I think? I used these before I had a paid account, which are secretly handy and let you do cool stuff like that.
My favourite little trick to navigating friends pages is to stalk the 'friends of friends' page - yours being here because it doesn't just pic up the people you've been able to add, but almost everyone else in the fandom, which is handy. You have to sift through some other stuff on occasion, but I generally just find that even more shiny and interesting

1) Basically yes - they let you upload a stack of userpics (up to something like 30 I think, but I only have 8) and when you post a comment from the site, there should be a drop down menu that lets you pick which one you want

Heh, part of me is still wary, but most of me is stubborn and really hates the idea of a WEBSITE being infinitely smarter than I am. I think this is already the longest I have stuck around without quitting for another six months, so I might as well keep at it!
