Description LIVE PREVIEW | View stock images used

Want to customize the photo? You can! The instructions are after the boring instructions

INSTRUCTIONS: To edit the pop-out sidebar, click the 'edit skin' link on the upper left of the journal edit page. Then, in the lower text box you'll find <SUP> tags. Anything you put between them will show up in the sidebar. You can edit the two links and the message, or erase it all and put stamps, plz-emotes... anything.

There isn't any HTML you need to remember, but if you like:
  • Use two bold tags to make a heading, or three bold tags for a bigger heading with an underline.
  • Wrap your thumbs in <div class="feature">...</div> to have them formatted differently.
  • <blockquote> gets a little dotted border on the left


Changing the photo is easily done -
  • grab the template and overlap the man with your own images.
    When you paste your images into the template, you don't have to be super accurate - just make sure to get it centred over the sample photos. The photo frame will crop the extra bits out for you.
  • Save the file and upload it to the net so you can link directly to it in the CSS.
    You could submit it to your scraps, but make sure to get the URL of the actual image, and not just what's in the address bar when you view your deviation.
  • In the CSS, find the line beginning with .photo_ (it's near the top) and replace the URL in the background property with a link to your replacement image.
  • ???
  • ...PROFITEROLE!





  • update, 27th May '09 deviantART now replaces any links to my userpage/gallery/etc with YOUR username, which is cool, but broke the link that pointed to the stock images. I've fixed that by using an URL shortener.

    update, 18th May '09 fixed the alignment in the attribution and stock footer text, fixed skin so that moods list works top and bottom, and added support for Internet Exploder - though the hover effects can't be fixed because IE sucks.

    update, 6th May '09 styled the attribution footer, added background colour to the photo, so if background (man) doesn't load (when people change it) it's not transparent.

    Is there a way to install this to anything other than the journal. It would make for a great DA ID for writers.

    foundsoundfunny In reply to KevinMcDougall [2011-04-10 08:58:28 +0000 UTC]

    I never thought of that!

    I've seen people customize those userpage boxes, but I don't think we have the options needed to replicate the journal skin. One thing you could do is install the skin, and then take a screenshot perhaps? Otherwise, you're welcome to take the skin's image files and construct a dA ID in an image editor. Make sure to credit the stock sources either way though

    You're using the wrong URL - you've put in the URL for the page of your deviation, you need to use the direct link to the image itself.

    View your deviation at full size (y'know, zoom in if you have to) and then right click on the image to open the context menu. There will be an option to 'copy image location' or something similar. The exact wording will be different depending on which internet browser you use, but it should put the following link in your clipboard:

    [link]

    ^ that is the URL you need to paste into the CSS

    Woah, I just went to test it out and it seems they've changed the journal edit page. Maybe it's a beta tester thing though

    In any case, if you have the new interface, just click the thumbnail on the left. If you have the original interface you'll have to go to the options tab, and there's a button at the bottom for opening the skin selector. Choose the Vintage CSS skin from there and you should be good to go

    Live and learn. Thanks I will try on the contest thingy, or I may just have to bow down to the Deviant-art gods and give them money just so I can play with this. When I was young and naive(yesterday) and I was searching for journal background I have to say I though yours was the best, for that is the look I think of when I imagine journals.
