This is the type of post I'll be doing for summer_of_giles in June. This layout will not be in my posts there, but I will be posting new layouts featuring Giles.

This is a LJ layout using the Smooth Sailing layout and should work with all account levels.
khaoschilde graciously allowed me to use a recent manip for this and was nice enough to customize it.

It should be fairly easy to put into your LJ. If you have any trouble with it, please let me know.

Here's the code you'll need to copy and paste to make the layout work.
