So not everyone is a LiveJournal expert (I swear I'm not either). And, of course, there are those out there that are learning this all for the first time. So here are a few things that have come up that I hope will help beginners and people who just hadn't figured it out yet. And yes, this is the second such post. The first just had a ton of comments and I wanted to clean things up.

Here is an attempt to fix some of LJ's bugs.

Theme: Flexible Squares (not sure if it works with other themes)

You've changed to Flexible Squares and have done the Customization of your Theme by inserting a layout code from Layout Lounge or another layout design community. You noticed that the links at the bottom of your posts say comment. You want to make them say something that reflects the new layout you've begun using. (Case in point... this journal uses thought? rather than comment and 2 thoughts rather than 2 comments.)

I've had two friends have issues with their layouts header. The image kept looking smaller than it should and finally I discovered that the problem what PhotoBucket. So I'm here to go over a few header issues because there are a couple other issues I can think of.... (see coding with changeable information at the bottom of post)
