Credits
I could not find a decent starter sheet for Bloggish so I asked grrliz and used one of hers layouts as a base (Holiday in Vegas @ thefulcrum)- any bugs you find are due to my tweaking the code till its barely the same anymore >__<

Paste this code into your profile page:
<font size="-1"><DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <P><B>Credits:</B> + header by <lj user="gossymer"> + layout by <lj user="gossymer"> (<a href="http://gossymer.livejournal.com/183219.html">here</a>), with base codes by <lj user="grrliz"> (<a href="http://community.livejournal.com/thefulcrum/5972.html">here</a>) + linkbar icons from <a href="http://www.famfamfam.com/">famfamfam.com</a></P> </DIV></font>

Customization Instructions
If you want to add a header and change colors

• Download the code here
• Open it in a text editor
• Refer to the customization instructions bellow
• You MUST upload the code to a web server. I use awardspace myself.
• Follow the instructions above for IJ or/and LJ and just change the URL with the stylesheet you uploaded.
• Adjust the credits accordingly

If you want to add your own header, add this code to the end:

#banner h1, #banner h2 {
display:none; }

#banner-inner {
background: url(YOUR IMAGE URL HERE);
background-position: top center; /* Change to whatever position you want */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Can be changed to repeat, repeat-x or repeat-y */
background-color: #000; /* Change to whatever color you want */
height: 200px; /* The height of your image */
}

If you want to change colors, do find/replace for the following codes:

Blue links are #007ba7
Orange titles are #E35E00
Green ljuser links are #85B800

You are free to make any changes - only requirement is to comment and credit. Oh and if you do try to customize it beyond the instructions listed, please refer to s2bloggish and s2_bloggish for help.
