Notes
This layout is not to be changed, I spent a lot of time to get the graphics, colors and text right that I don't want to see it broken. Right now, this only available as a free theme so no fancy stuff added. However, I do plan on revisiting this layout to add a paid version as well in the future.

Credit
If you keep the image in the layout (logo), then it isn't necessary to have a link in the sidebar. However, if you wish to remove the the image then I would appreciate it.

I checked your css through the browser, and it looks like you've forgotten to upload the images to a server (like photobucket) and replace the fake URLs in the stylesheet with your new links.
