1.) For step two, where you paste in the text for the theme layer, paste this in instead:

layerinfo "type" = "theme"; layerinfo "name" = "Edited Entry"; function Page::print_entry(Entry e) "The meat of each new layout. Describes how each page will look. In nearly all cases, the logic and decision-making processes should come from pre-existing functions in core2, and should not get written here. If you limit the structure of the page to HTML, function calls, and attached CSS, then you will be able to pick up all of the enhancements and accessibility requirements managed by core2." { ## For most styles, this will be overridden by FriendsPage::print_entry and such. $e->print_wrapper_start(); """<div class="header">\n"""; $e->print_subject(); $e->print_metatypes(); $e->print_time(); """</div>\n"""; """<div>\n"""; """<div class="contents">\n"""; """<div class="inner">\n"""; $e->print_tags(); $e->print_poster(); $e->print_userpic(); if ($*entry_metadata_position == "top") { $e->print_metadata(); } $e->print_text(); if ($*entry_metadata_position == "bottom") { $e->print_metadata(); } """</div>\n"""; """</div>\n"""; """</div>\n"""; """<div class="footer">\n"""; """<div class="inner">\n"""; $this->print_entry_footer($e); "</div>\n</div>\n"; $e->print_wrapper_end(); }

(That will put the tags above the entry-poster.)

Find this:

#canvas #content #primary .entry .tag, #canvas #content #primary .footer .multiform-checkbox {
margin-top: 8px;
width: 80%;
float: left;
}

Replace it with this:

#canvas #content #primary .entry .tag, #canvas #content #primary .footer .multiform-checkbox {
width: 80%;
float: left;
}

#canvas #content #primary .footer .multiform-checkbox {
margin-top: 8px;
}

(Basically removing the top margin from .tag, since it no longer needs it.)

2. If you want to tweak things, go ahead, but I recoded it from scratch so it might be a little tricky. Removing the borders should be really easy, though, since I gathered them all together for a single line. Search for

border: 1px solid;

and get rid of the whole declaration.

3. No reason why not! You should be able to add one like this:

#canvas #header {
background: url(http://example.com/);
}

The text will appear on top of it by default, so you should add

padding-top: IMAGEHEIGHTpx;

to the declaration if that isn't what you want. Should work just fine!
