I realize this is a very old post, but I only just stumbled upon it and thought the layout(s) were fun. But I have absolutely no idea how to make it work without looking like a great big mess. Been poking at it for two hours now. And I'm unclear on what I'm supposed to be using as a "background image" given there's only two linked images -- Header, and Header Link.

Help, if anyone is still watching? Otherwise I'll keep looking for something else. Thanks.

Thank you for responding, and clearing that up for me! I appreciate it.

Yes, piecing the layout together isn't going as smoothly as I thought. I have experience with HTML, and granted I didn't keep poking at things very long, but some help would be appreciated. Here's the journal, so you can see what's going on: http://mr-laforge.livejournal.com

The top of the graphic gets sliced off, the two sandwich together so tightly that it cuts off part of the bottom, and the sidebar/entry headers are rectangular rather than circular. Which are the main problems I'm seeing.

It might be worth mentioning I run Chrome primarily, Firefox secondary. I'm not sure how the layout looks in both. But -- thank you in advance!

Hmm. I just double-checked the code, and the size of the header image isn't defined anywhere in pixels. It should auto-adjust, given the code you used. I didn't alter it in any way, just copy-pasted it straight from the text box above.

I could define the header image size in the code, but I think that might just add a new problem when it comes to rendering the image properties in different browsers. Still, might work? For science, and all.

Thank you so much for the help; it looks gorgeous. Great work! ♥

(And I have to say: I've gained a lot of smiles from watching you answer my icons with the perfect icons from your own account! Clearly we are secretly the same person. XD)
