basic layout question

avismalusHi again! I have some more questions, this time regarding customizing the look of my journal.
I never used livejournal or anything similar so I'm extremely confused and can't really find any kind of guide that explains things without assuming you have prior knowledge of Livejournal. As you can see on my page, I've been messing around and managed to somewhat change my profile, but I still am confused and not really satisfied.
What I'm trying to achieve is making my layout look something like one of these:
https://secretare.dreamwidth.org/
https://catholicisms.dreamwidth.org/
Something extremely simple, basically I want my journal's front page just to be a navigation page. In the case of secretare, it seems like they basically have no theme, the only feature is the navigation post and the previous page button at the bottom. Also, when you click on their links, the pages it takes you to go back to being in the DW default theme for the comment page (if that makes sense?). I want to do something like this. catholicisms' is another example of the journal just being a single post with navigation links and no other features.
Sorry for these probably really basic questions... I'm not at all used to sites with this kind of setup and I can't understand layers versus styles versus coded post formats, etc...
Thanks to anyone who can help.
