1. Find Userinfo Position in Entries and set to Left side of entry text.
Set these drop down boxes to the following:
  • Profile Position OR Latest Month Position - 1

upload images
This is only applicable to the Wood layout!

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo181/lightmass/wood/wood6.gif (topbar bg)

Upload the images to a site like Tinypic or Photobucket, then replace the old URLs.
simplify the entry date
This is actually highly recommended, because the layout was designed for this format.

Go to Entry Text » Format for Date and Time (Recent/Friends/Entry/Reply page) and copy one of the two date format options into the box. (You can view samples of each in the Modern and Wood previews, respectively.)
