| ImagesIf using, please don't hotlink. There is no direct link in the css layout, just the images' names. Upload to another storage online, try photobucket. Or try this post for other places I might add. NotesThis 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. If you want the same sidebar as mine, just go to the sidebar's customization area 1. Make sure your Tags | Page Summary | Linkslist are turned on (Yes). 2. In the 1-6 boxes choose from the drop down menu. Default Userpic | Calendare | Links List | Blurb | Tags Page | Summary. If you wish to use the Navigation Strip, which is coordinated with the layout go to Customization Area, look for Navigation Strip and check off either: Always show on my journal/community Always show on any journal or community I view CreditIf 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. QuestionsIf you have questions, please ask in comments. I'll try my best to get to you.

Alas! I'm in my dark/bleeding cowboys phase, or I would use this.
