A simple layout (Apart from the header it only contains 2 tiny pictures!), you could use it for anything, really - just change the header.
Because of problems with a couple of things on the comment page, I just gave up trying to make the CSS work for both Internet Explorer and Firefox (Once again IE isn't doing what it's supposed to. I swear, those browsers are trying to make me go crazy. I'm telling you people, it's a conspiracy! *ahem*), and just made a CSS for IE and one for FF. I don't know what it looks like in other browsers, but I guess the Firefox version should work.
Edit (October 13, 2017): I replaced the old Photobucket links, so images are back now. And I got rid of the IE version.
