so, there's this really cute layout i like that some random girl has on lj. click here i want this layout for my personal blog, but i can't find it anywhere! is it a preset one that she changed, or is there any way i can find it somewhere? all i want to do is use the layout, thats it. and it's only for personal use....can anyone help me? please?

It looks fairly simple - many of the S2 layouts can be easily changed to look similar (background images, etc).

It looks like a layout she may have made on her own, but if you're using S2, there are plenty of themes for you to start with, especially if you're new to LJ.

To check and see which style system you're using:

Once you're using S2, go to the theme area:

Once you've picked a theme, if you need help customizing it, post a link to your journal and tell me the name of the theme you're using - otherwise I won't know how to help!
