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.
Questions
If you have questions, please ask in comments. I'll try to get to you. If you are not part of InsaneJournal, please leave a name so I'll at least know who you are. :)
Note
If you see a staggered gradation in the images in your layout, which might result from your computer saving the images as .bmp only, I learned from
carriep63 that it is most likely due to the need to clean out your temporary internet files.

Thanks again for making this awesome layout! ^_^
I was wondering, however, if I could change the header? That, as well as, how I could add more sections/lists to the left hand column?
Thanks, and lovely job on this layout.
I feel like I've accomplished something tonight! Thank you for making this so easy!

I have a couple of questions that aren't life-threatening, but would be great if they're easy fixes. I added in the extras, shifting my mood theme to the left and adding tags. I really would like to see all my tags (instead of having the vertical bar) but if I do this, it'll push my links waaaay down the page. With my old Bloggish layout, I had my links above the tags. Is this possible?
My other question concerns the theme layer I made, my first ever. I added:
layerinfo "type" = "theme";
layerinfo "name" = "Baroque";
which worked fine, but when under that I entered:
layerinfo "type" = "user";
layerinfo "name" = "Baroque";
I got a compilation error message. I removed it, and it seems to be working. But I know I'm doing something wrong.
Oh, one other little thing -- in your stylesheet you've written "bcalendarimage.jpg" when it should be "bcalendarimage.gif". Thought you'd want to know!
Thank you again! This is such a beautiful layout!
Many thanks. :)
