Help with layout needed

Date: 05/23/06 (HTML Help) Keywords: no keywords

Hello, there! A little help here, please?

I'd like to introduce some small changes to my journal to make it more interesting. My current layout is too plain, because I'm not good at making overrides.

I would like to have two narrow columns - one to the left, and the other to the right of the main journal entries. These columns would countain some personal information (to the left) and links (to the right). I'd like their colours to be black, bright yellow or the shades of mauve.

It would also be nice if there was space to put in a little picture (icon) at the end of both columns. Additional features would also be welcome.

Other suggestions are welcome, too! Please, help me make my layout more attractive (even if your ideas are different from mine, I'd like to hear them, maybe I'd like your recommendations more!)

Here are my overrides:

FRIENDS_HEAD<= <style type="text/css">  </style> <=FRIENDS_HEAD FRIENDS_WEBSITE=><tr><td colspan=5><a href=/go.php?http://ljplus.ru/counter/rating target=_blank><img src=http://ljplus.ru/counter/lj.php?uid=131483&id=1 border=0></a></td></tr> LASTN_HEAD<= <style type="text/css">  </style> <=LASTN_HEAD DAY_TALK_LINKS<= <tr> <td align="right" colspan="2" width="100%" bgcolor="%%color:weak_back%%" class="comments"> %%readlink%%<a href="%%urlpost%%">sink your teeth in</a> </td> FRIENDS_HEAD<= <style type="text/css">  </style> <=FRIENDS_HEAD LASTN_HEAD<= <style type="text/css">  </style> <=LASTN_HEAD DAY_TALK_LINKS<= <tr> <td align="right" colspan="2" width="100%" bgcolor="%%color:weak_back%%" class="comments"> %%readlink%%<a href="%%urlpost%%">willing to dispense knowledge?</a> </td> </tr> <=DAY_TALK_LINKS DAY_WEBSITE=> <a href=/go.php?http://ljplus.ru/counter/rating target=_blank><img src=http://ljplus.ru/counter/lj.php?uid=131483&id=1 border=0></a><br> LASTN_TALK_LINKS<= <tr> <td align="right" colspan="2" width="100%" bgcolor="%%color:weak_back%%" class="comments"> %%readlink%%<a href="%%urlpost%%">willing to dispense knowledge?</a> </td> </tr> <=LASTN_TALK_LINKS GLOBAL_HEAD<= <meta content="revealTrans(transition=3, duration=5.0)" http-equiv="Page-Enter"> <meta content="revealTrans(transition=3, duration=5.0)" http-equiv="Page-Exit"> <style type="text/css">  </style> <style type="text/css">  </style> <=GLOBAL_HEAD FRIENDS_TALK_LINKS<= <tr> <td align="right" colspan="2" width="100%" bgcolor="%%color:weak_back%%" class="comments"> %%readlink%%<a href="%%urlpost%%">willing to dispense knowledge?</a> </td> </tr> <=FRIENDS_TALK_LINKS LASTN_TALK_READLINK=><a href="%%urlread%%"><b>%%messagecount%% scintillating gem%%mc-plural-s%% of wisdom</b></a>| LASTN_DATE_FORMAT=>%%daylong%%, %%monlong%% %%dth%%, %%yyyy%% ♥ %%12h%%:%%min%%%%ampm%% FRIENDS_TALK_READLINK=><a href="%%urlread%%"><b>%%messagecount%% scintillating gem%%mc-plural-s%% of wisdom</b></a>| CALENDAR_WEBSITE=><tr><td colspan=5><a href=/go.php?http://ljplus.ru/counter/rating target=_blank><img src=http://ljplus.ru/counter/lj.php?uid=131483&id=1 border=0></a></td></tr> LASTN_WEBSITE=><tr><td colspan=5><a href=/go.php?http://ljplus.ru/counter/rating target=_blank><img src=http://ljplus.ru/counter/lj.php?uid=131483&id=1 border=0></a></td></tr> DAY_TALK_READLINK=><a href="%%urlread%%"><b>%%messagecount%% scintillating gem%%mc-plural-s%% of wisdom</b></a>|

My page layout style is Generator (for Most Recent Events, Friends View, Calendar), and Punquin Elegant w/ Sidebar for Day View (S1).

Thank you!
