Confused about LJ coding Options

[megggnasty]

basically, all i want is a really simple layout that i can do myself with a few codes.
aaaand i was wondering if it is as simple as sticking in style codes (link styles, etc.)?
i've never been able to figure out livejournal coding... HELP!

simple like this: http://users.livejournal.com/_perfectperfume/
that's my friend's livejournal and i've been trying forever to figure out how to get mine like it.

i know nothing. :D

If you want your header image to appear, you must have a website listed on your profile. Again, please be more specific in what you want. For example, do you want the navigation at the top of the page to appear or not? Do you want your layout to be right or left aligned? Do you want a navigation bar on the right/left side of the journal? You get the idea. In any case, change what's in the bolded red (in the first part, make sure that the two numbers add up to a hundred).
