Generator Sidebar Options

[sjuhawk31]

Hey, I need some advice on my design at http://sjuhawk31.livejournal.com.

I'm rocking the Flexible Squares style right now, but I want to switch over to S2 Generator, namely because I designed a neat header image last night. I'm looking to put a sidebar in, too, though, like I have now with FlexiSquares. I put a link in my profile and everything, but I'm not sure how to take the next step. I don't want to stray too far from the Generator "look," because I have some simple color coding in mind that I want to use on it.

Any advice? And, if coding to put the header image in there is inculded, I won't complain heehee.

OOH! Also, if anyone knows of code to push the permalink text to the right so it looks like "# comments | Leave a comment | Permalink" I'd be forever grateful. I'm also looking for a way to make a userpic show up for every entry, because I have a growing collection of userpics that I want to show up on the main page view.
