Pretty banner plus a question

[icemink]

As some of you may remember, about a month ago I sucummed to an Angelus/Darla plot bunny and posted a fic called Fair Trade, just to get it out of my head. Now I had ideas of continuing this story, but I wasn't ready to commit to another WIP. Then I saw a challenge posted the fit exactly with the next thing that was going to happen in the story so I had to write more. But to keep it from being a WIP I've decided that it's now a series of short fics which I'm calling The Pygmalion Series. I'll have the second part a little later this month, but in the mean time the wonderful shanmara has made me a banner:




And now I have an LJ question. My lovely layout was done by selene2 and I don't really know how to do custom LJ layouts. I still love it, but I'd like to add one of those sidebars that shows all your tags (it would be really neat if it was one of the ones where the more you use the tag, the bigger the text is). Can anyone tell me how I do that?

What a gorgeous banner!

I'm afraid I have friends who do great layouts and we talk about what I want and then it happens. I hope you get some help on the basic stuff, like the sideboards and that, because it's very handy. I know some layouts come with them.

It is gorgeous, I'm so happy with it. *hugs shiny new banner*.

As for LJ I'm sure someone on my flist knows how to do it. If not. . . well I guess I'll just have to roll up my sleeves and dig through confusing LJ FAQs.
