Livejournal has it's own special code, just like Blogger does and other blog/journal applications, but basically it's web design, and at the heart of all web design is a dirty little secret: outright plagiarism.
Go to sites you like, Shaye's, WhiteLight's, heck, National Geographic, and (if you're on IE) go to "View/Source." That will pop up the code for that page. Look at the code for a couple of sites, notice the patterns, copy chunks and play with it.
I'm a big fan of using Notepad and simply saving the text document as a .html file. Makes it easy to edit and then just click and test. But others have special apps they like, and I've got no idea what LJ uses.

That may be more than you wanted to know...
