diary of a lover

Hello! This is what this design will look like. Well, this took forever to do! The beautiful picture comes from Stock Exchange, and the background is of course a Squidfingers creation. Absolutely hours in my lil "Photoshop Elements 2.0" altering colours and transparency and absolute positioning it. You will need to change the USERNAME bits to your username, and the %%PREV%% and %%NEXT%% to lowercase.
