This layout was made for round three of the LLS contest (season seven). This was the hardest theme I have done to date. Seriously, weather? Anyway, this took me over a week to complete. As you can see it's heavily based on my site design. (In fact, the weather layout came before the site design so it's actually the other way around.) You may make any changes you wish to the layout. Enjoy!

• Set style to S2 Smooth Sailing.
• On the "Custom Options" tab, choose Sidebar.
• Find » Multisearch Sidebox Title and delete the word "Search". Leave it blank.
• On the "Custom Options" tab, choose Custom CSS.
• Set Use layout's stylesheet(s) to "no". IMPORTANT!!

I am calling this layout Geco Seven because each module has seven links in it. This isn't so with the "true" version. The user will determine how many links he/she wants. The content area of the the module will scroll if there is more than seven. I am aware that the "K" is left out of the spelling of Geco. This is what the artist named the image and I just stuck with it. Those of you that use this can change the header image to something else.

The "School" layout is for round one of LLS7. This layout is a customization of the S2 Bloggish style. This works well with all account types: Paid, Basic, and Plus users are all welcome to it. The header image was found at http://www.sxc.hu. Bullets found at http://www.stylegala.com. Icons used from http://www.famfamfam.com and from the Vista icon set.

A few features in this layout:
Wide open space.
Fully supports the Ads that Plus users see.
Supports S2 Link list, tags, Page Summary and entry icons.
Custom comment pages for Paid and Plus users.
You may move the third column to the right instead of the middle.
My favorite: I've rearranged the mood icon so it's to the left of the words.

All in all I'm fairly happy with my second "School" attempt. Those of you that wish to use this may feel free to change the header (it's simply a background image).

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
