My first Flexible Squares layout. This is a momentous occasion. On my next layout, I'll probably attempt to tackle a different style sheet. Any who, do enjoy!
Watchers: It has taken two years, but I've finally given you all a good amount of content to take in. Now the question is, what do you all want to see more of? Layouts, profile layouts, icons, textures, a combination of all, or something else? Please let me know if you have the time. (:

settings:
Disabled: The ENTIRE Sidebar.
Enabled: Title and subtitle. Whatever you have set for these will be displayed on your page underneath the header.
Additional: On the 'Display' menu, under the Additional Options tab, select YES to show the user picture on all entries and then select LEFT as the position for the user picture in each entry.
Ad Placement: Ad placement should be set to 'Horizontal'.
notes:
Saving/Hosting: All tiny icons should be saved to your own hardrive and reuploaded onto an image hosting site, just to be on the safe side.
Editing: Feel free to change/edit the backgrounds, color scheme, etc.
Just don't change the framework CSS and be sure to have a link back to
fleeting_days as credit somewhere, anywhere on your livejournal.
Questions(?): If you have any problems, please comment. A small help tutorial will be coming soon.
WATCH, IF YOU PLEASE. //
