Information

Hey guys! I've got a fun layout for you today, set to the tone of high contrast minimalism, with a few unobtrusive but unique features! High Contrast features rotated sidehand dates capped with userpics, a custom non-Google font, and a lot of personality with very little clutter.

Additionally, I've coded this layout to support both sidebar versions, AND one column (no sidebar), which makes it pretty versitile too! Don't enjoy stark white or pages without backgrounds? No problem! You can easily add in either a page background, header background, or both! Enjoy! ♥
