Help Needed!!!

[lady_simoriah]

Okay, I've recently had the opportunity to upgrade my account to paid status with the objective being to finally customize how my LJ looks.  One problem, I'm totally clueless when it comes to S2 and all this other mumbo jumbo.  If there's anyone out there willing to help me out either by tutoring me in how to do this for myself or possibly even willing to create a layout for me I'd really sincerely appreciate it.  Please comment if you can help.  Thanks!
