New (Fullmetal Alchemist) LJ Layout-Theme

OMG I have a new layout. Kind of. I'd been using the same layout, or very boring variations of my old layout for a really long time and decided to brows through my collection of old headders for inspiration and was like Wow! I forgot about this one and I really like it! So I decided to revive it and use it with a codes that don't suck. (I've been getting much better at them.)
The layout itself is all blue and white, so even if you don't want to use the headder... you can use the code. I don't care. That's what I share them for. So.... if you would like to use it. Have a party!
1. Go to the Customize Journal area.
2. Under "#2 Select New Theme," type in FLEXIBLE SQUARES in the search field.
3. Select APPLY THEME under any of the given options.
*Blue Gray is the FLEXIBLE SQUARES default, but it really shouldn't matter which one you select.
4. Select CUSTOMIZE YOUR THEME in the upper-right box field. (Or you can also select the CUSTOMIZE button beneath whichever FLEXIBLE SQUARES theme you've just chosen - either way works. *MAKE SURE the "Apply Theme" button underneath has turned into a link that says CUSTOMIZE.)
5. Select CUSTOM CSS - it will be the last option on the left sidebar
6. Change all drop-down options on this page to NO.
*There should be three of them.
7. Copy/Paste this ENTIRE code into the CUSTOM STYLE SHEET field. Make sure not to put any spaces or anything in because it could break it. =p
Now, go ahead and make sure that the code is working. If it isn't... feel free to let me know and I'll see if I can't help you figure out why!
Also, the given CSS code only changes the basic look of your journal, none of the texts. Your texts, links and such can all be modified to your liking by just playing around with the options in the CUSTOMIZE YOUR THEME area. Just roam around the sidebar on the left. But it is all quite user-friendly!
I should also give you the heads up that if you do install this code are wondering why my sidebar, or the links on the top of my journal seem to be different; it's because of my theme layer codes, NOT the CSS codes. I'll totally share those, if you want. But you'll have to let me know if you want them (they are only usable with paid accounts.)And the image in my sidebar was made with one of *these* brushes.
And if you have a friends-only journal and want to nab a matching banner, here it is:
