New to premade layouts and having difficulty getting to work... Options

[kishinfoulux]

Hi. I'll try to be direct. I wanted to put up a new premade layout today for my journal. Now I don't really get how this stuff works but I figured it'd be similar to myspace where you find a layout you like and copy some code someplace and than presto, instant change. That doesn't seem to be the case though.

Just to use that as an example, that is a layout I like and would like to use. Now I notice it says it's meant for S1 and I'm guessing S2 is the standard right now. I don't know. I haven't the slightest idea on what that all means. But basically would it be possible to get that layout to work on my page? Or any others for that matter?

Everytime I check tutorials or directions for how to get them to work it never matches what options I have or it's always S1 instructions. This is something I thought would be simple (and it probably is) but it's making my head spin. So what can I do about this?

Also if theres any more info you require just let me know and I'll gladly provide it. Sorry about the lengthy post.
