Component Help

Okay, if you (dare) look at my journal you will see I have repeated components. I don't want that, And I've tried the tutorial that was pointed out to me a few posts ago. *puzzled look* I did succeed in changing order though. I'll cut for my layer.

How do I replicate the line between my subject and entry so that it also appears between my entry and metadata?

My theme layer is here.

Thanks!!

I noticed that when some people list CD's or movies in a scrolling component, the background color alternates between every picture. Umm...how do you do that?

This is a huge request, I hope it's allowed.
I just started trying to figure out component about a week ago. Since then I have been very frustrated whenever I try to customize my layout. I've looked at and stabbed at the tutorials, but I can't get anywhere. Even if a code I use doesn't have any errors, nothing happens to my layout. It's very tiresome.
Totally giving up on my own ability to make my layout what I wish it to be, I wanted to ask that someone do it for me. I really really hope this isn't rude, I just can't do it on my own. Under the cut are the elements I would like in my layout. If anybody would be able to tackle this, please let me know!! I will seriously love you forever!!!!
