I was cleaning up the layouts folder on my hard drive and just found this little beauty I've used myself back in 2006.^^ And instead of deleting it I thought I could share it with you, after I've gone through the terrible old coding. *rofl*

READ ME:
This is important. If you don't follow this instructions the layout might look weird on your account.^^
Upload ALL images from the zip to your own server and change the paths on the css. I won't host any images for you.
1) Go to your customize (http://www.livejournal.com/customize) site.
2) (Select a new theme) by searching for Flexible Squares. If you have you own layer for Flexible Squares use it!
3) (Choose a page setup) Set to sidebar on right.
4) Hit the customize selected theme button.
5) (customize your theme)
- (Sidebar) Set » Show the default user picture on the sidebar? - yes/no // it is up to you
- (Sidebar) Set » Show the blurb/free text in the sidebar? - yes/no // it is up to you
- (Sidebar) Set » Show the link list in the sidebar? - yes/no // it is up to you
- (Sidebar) Set » Show tags in the sidebar? - yes/no // it is up to you - you can choose cloud or list, both work fine
- (Sidebar) Set » Show the page summary in the sidebar? - yes/no // it is up to you
- (Sidebar) Set » Show the calendar in the sidebar? - yes/no it is up to you
Hit 'Ordering' and arrange the sidebar to your liking.
6) (Custom CSS) Set the three pulldowns to 'no', copy the css and paste it into » Custom stylesheet. Save changes.
7) A link back to my journal (butterflybox) somewhere at yours would be very nice, but isn't a must.
If you wanna change the graphics or any colours I won't be offended. But do never claim my css as yours, ok?
