Glad it wasn't just me. I'm not brilliant with these things, but I am capable on inputting a link and the height in pixels...
I figured, but you always have to ask. . .. Yeah, it's weird. The only image field I can seem to make have any effect is the 'background' one. But usually if you can't use a particular image in a layout, they don't give you an option for it.

And that's where i tend to get lost. (I should probably learn it, but I get bored.)
It's kinda fun, but time-consuming. I by no means know what I'm doing, but if someone gives me some code I can poke at it and figure out what it's doing?

Pretty much, apart from the top (right) module covering part of the banner. I guess that might be part of the basic layout?
I think we can push it down like we did with the main column, but I have to figure out what it's called in the formatting.

I was just playing around, I prefer it on the right.
Cool, cool.

Although I wish the default icon was as big as on LJ.
Yeah, the tiny profile link is just stupid. I'm sure you can change it, but one problem at a time.

Incidentally love your 'About'. That could go back up top (although I know I can input text in the modules, so no worries).
What, the Class quote? I just pulled it from your LJ to help you see the possibilities.
