OK, I’ve spent the better part of today surfing through random pages on LJ to find inspiration. I tried dozens of different layouts and color combinations, background images, customized entry fields, etc.

Then I spoke with Amanda who reminded me that she reads all of her friends’ entries in her own layout so no one really sees her layout except for her. I hadn’t thought of that. And here I was trying to impress the world.

In the end, I decided that simple was better and left it at that.
