Notes: The idea for the sidebox across the top is from gossymer. I didn't copy her code, but I studied it to figure out how she did it. I have no problem with you changing any of the colors or graphics used in my layouts. Just don't take credit for the original style sheet.

Directions: Go to Customize Journal Choose any Smooth Sailing layout If your journal is ad supported choose the vertical placement. Choose 2 Column (Sidebar on left) IMPORTANT! Hit Customize Selected Theme Under Sidebar Enable 5 sidebar boxes and hide the rest. If you choose more than five your sidebar will wrap onto the next line and cover the top of your entries. You can choose less than five, but you'll have and empty space on the sidebar where the sidebox would have been. Save Changes and choose Custom CSS Make sure both drop down boxes say no Copy the overrides in the box below and paste them into the Custom Stylesheet and hit Save Changes
Header: To change the header, simply go to the .pageheaderblock part of the stylesheet and change the Height: 400px; to The height of your Header plus 80px. If you don't do this than it's not going to work. So, if your header is 325px tall, you need to change the height to 405px. If your menu bar is floating in the middle of your header it's because you didn't change the height correctly.
