nameless_layout

I have a question, I have a graphic that I've made and I've tried to create a layout out of it and I just can't seem to do it. I used to have no problem on greatestjournal, but for some reason on this site, I can't get anything to work right. I know I need a background for the layout still, but I never made it that far. I can't for the life of of my figure this out! If anyone could help, that would be amazing!

the picture is here

I wanted to do a two column thing, one for entries and the other to put like links or w/e nonsense. I just can't get it lol! I've spent hours at it, but everything I did on GJ doesn't seem to work on here. Any help would be amazing!!
