I've made a design, but I don't want to put in the effort of converting it to and LJ style unless it works for people. The design is here:
http://www.dtwins.plus.com/lj_layout_testing/new_layout.htm
It is literally just a layout and style sheet so none of the links go anywhere, but I would appreciate comments. If anyone would be so good as to take a look I would be most grateful. Thanks.
(Of course there's no telling if I'll be able to build it! :) )
[Edit: And thank you so much to everyone who commented over the latest layout.]
