I first began blogging on the website LiveJournal in the summer of 2002. My favorite layout style was "Generator". It's always been a constant in my life. When I joined Dreamwidth in 2009, I was able to import the layout. I did not begin using DW regularly until 2017. I came back to a few messages in my inbox asking me for this code. I figured out how to share it with you guys. I hope you enjoy it.

download the Generator code here

Go to Advanced Customization.
Click on Your Layers
Under "Create top-level layer", select "Layout" for Type and "Core 1" for Core Version. Hit create.
You'll be taken back to your layers page. You should see a layer titled "Livejournal S2 Core V1". Click edit. Paste the code and click save & compile.
Now you need to use the layout. Go to Customize Journal Style page. Click on "Your Custom Layers" and apply your new theme
To edit the theme colors and fonts further, click "Customize".
