Step by Step Instructions on How to Use the Layout

1. Go to your Customize page.

3. Under "Select a New Theme", type "Flexible Squares" in the Search box.
4. Click "Apply Theme" directly underneath the first search result.
5. Scroll down to "Choose a Page Setup", and click "Apply Layout" under "2 Column (sidebar on left)".
6. Click the button that says "Customize Selected Theme".
7. Click "Sidebar" on the left. Here you can decide what you would like to be displayed in the sidebar. You can choose any number or combination of these to be displayed. Remember, to customize the links, click "Links List".
8. Click "Custom CSS" on the left. Change "Use layout's stylesheet(s)" to No. This is extremely important!
9. Copy and paste one of the following into the custom stylesheet box and click "Save Changes":

Commonly Asked Questions


How do I add a header?
Find this:

#header {
font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: -1px;
background-color: transparent;
color: #9C9C9C;
text-transform: lowercase;
line-height: 14px;
}


Replace with this:

#header {
font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: -1px;
background-color: transparent;
color: #9C9C9C;
text-transform: lowercase;
line-height: 14px;
background: transparent url(URL OF IMAGE) top center no-repeat;
padding: ###px 0 0 0;
}



Change the ###s to the HEIGHT of your image. You'll need to upload your image to the internet. I suggest tinypic.com.

My entries are starting halfway down the page!
You have a wide image somewhere. Go lj-cut this, and it will work.

Can I edit the colours, etc.?
Sure, if you give me credit for the base code!

My layout looks all messed up?!
99% of the time, making sure you have set "Use layout's stylesheet(s)" to No will fix this.

Can I have my default userpic show up?
Sure, just find this:

.defaultuserpic img {
display: none;
}


And replace with this:

.defaultuserpic img {
padding: 5px;
background-color: #F7F7F7;
margin: 10px;
}


What if I don't want the sidebar? Can I have the layout without it?
Yep! On your main Customize page, find "Choose a Page Setup" at the bottom. Click "Apply Layout" under "1 Column (no sidebar)". Then, find the #maincontent section, and change the width from 69% to 95%. Then, change margin: 3px 50px 0 4px; to margin: 3px auto 0 auto;.

If you have any questions concerning the layout, feel free to ask. Also, PLEASE comment if you decide to use this! Thank you.

I am using it. Really beautiful!

I had a similar problem to "my entries are staring halfway down the page..."
but I lj-cut everything that looked like it was a problem, with no success. If you have a free moment, could you maybe see if you have any suggestions?

Anyway, lovely layouts. I'm going to credit you right now.

I just found my new layout! I'm using "Black Ice" right now and thought the other day that I would love something similar but in white.

This is beautiful! I"ve been needing a new layout since the holidays are over. Will use the green one, and will credit you for it. Thanks!

For the first time, I've managed to figure out a layout stylesheet and even added my own header and put the default user pic back in. Thanks very much for your step by step instructions and the FAQ you provided, it was very helpful! :)
