Updated file to fix some of the known issues
I was wondering why suddenly there was so many people coming Thanks so much to Ikue for the Daily Dev!
Also thanks to everyone for commenting on, faving or using this little thing!

ESPECIALLY the using I might not reply to all of them but i do look at every journal that's been made with this if i've been tagged in some way. It's very helpful as i can see how you are using it and what errors need to be fixed or what little customisation changes would be helpful for a possible 2.0

I think i'm done for now thank the lord

HEY KIDS have you ever wanted to make some kinda basic customised journal skin but you suck at coding like a vacuum cleaner?

Or maybe you know how to code but are feeling a bit lazy and would rather have the bulk of it already done for you?

WELL then you have come to the right place *confetti* Welcome to the DA Journal CSS Creator.

See "Known errors" below for issues that have been fixed/are being fixed

Journal CSS is a Premium Member only feature

FAQ #62: How do I use Journal skins?

The Journal CSS Creator is pretty simple to use, it's almost fool proof! All you have to do is pick a template, plug in your info (correctly) and click the "Get CSS" button! THEN BAM COPY AND PASTE THAT SUCKER INTO YOUR "Edit skin" section and tadah freshly made journal CSS to your liking

There are currently three templates to choose from, each with their own little feel to it. You can go nice and simple with the Basic Layer Cake, or perhaps show off a bit more of your characters or something with Picture Ribbon or Footloose ~ ok but i must say i am so proud of picture ribbon cos goddamn taking over that pre-built section was an interesting task |D

You can also save up to THREEEE journal designs to work on later! However as a warning you might lose them whenever i update/edit this file It really depends on what DA server gets used in these events.

RULES
Free for personal use only! You can also use it to make GIFTS for friends (though you might as well point them here and they can do it themselves lol), but not for commissions or anything where you get paid for it.

Please leave the credits in place so others know where to find this creator. In the event the credits cannot be seen, i would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT if you credit me for the basic template/link back to this thing somewhere in your journal or in the journal description or something.

PLEASE ONLY USE IMAGES THAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO USE don't be stealy of other peoples' art even if you think it would make a great journal header.

Troubleshooting
If you are having issues with your output CSS or want to know how to extend it a little, i'm happy to lend a hand and give some tips Please read all the inbuilt help files first though because if it's something i've already explained i'm just going to point you in its direction Or not answer it because i trust in your intelligence to figure it out. There are also some handy resources linked below.

If you come across what might be a bug, leave a comment to let me know por favor ~

Known errors
Google Chrome not outputting journal correctly for some people - Possibly caused by a certain extension as vanilla Chrome works fine. Please try using another browser if this happens for you.

Saved data gets lost when DA Journal CSS Creator gets updated...as i just found out just then |D - PROBLEMATIC as DA has like 9 servers or some shit and i never know which one will update the file

Fixed
Alternate mood row was outputting same colour as mood row - FIXED

Mood boxes do not have padding unless you set a row colour - FIXED. Wrote padding in by default.

Literature thumbs look odd - FIXED. Added some padding and a white background to them so they arent transparent anymore.

Also fixed the checkboxes "clearing" when changing template from the dropdown menu.

RESOURCES
Adobe Kuler (Color) - if you need help figuring out a colour scheme
Web safe fonts list - what fonts are most common across all computers?
Google fonts - or you could get a neat font from google fonts
Tileable patterns - from fellow DA artists (check to see if they're free to use). You can also search DA for some more free patterns or whatever.
Learn to code your own journal CSS (it's fun!)
Simplydevious basic journal maker - if you want something like Basic Layer Cake but with more customisable options SimplySilent has your answer

Sorry maties but you can't use journal CSS. However that doesn't mean that you have to miss out on all the pretty customisable fun! Consider:
Uszatyarbuz' Journal "skins" for non PM users (look for the titles)
HellsPlumber's DA Journal Creator

Thanks also to my lovely betas who helped test this thing so it was more user friendly!
