Im going to make the rules nice and simple for you all.
1. You must leave a link back to me. And that doesnt mean on some "credits" page, or in an entry, or anywhere else. It has to be ON the layout.
2. Yes, you may modify the layout. But the link needs to remain intact. If I cannot tell in the LEAST bit that the layout was mine... and resembles nothing of mine, you may take it off.
3. Yes, you may use the designs on sites other than diaryland. These include (but are not limited to) diary-x, livejournal, blogger, personal sites. etc.
And thats it! Easy enough, huh?
Keep the link. Thats the only thing I ask. All layouts already come with a text link. :)
Respect me, and Ill respect you!
