6. Click the button that says "Customize Selected Theme".

Commonly Asked Questions

How do I add a header?
Add this at the end of the code:

.headerimage {
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: ###px;
height: ###px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url("URL OF IMAGE HERE");
}

Change the width and height tags to match 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!

I don't really like that flower background. Can I get rid of it?
Sure, that's easy. Find and delete this:

background-image: url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/panthersgem/ref/lay/bgb1.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom left;
background-attachment: fixed;
