FAQ #62: How do I use Journal skins?


User Notes:

You must use

tags around your content:

Don't do this:

Lorem ipsum wah wah wah.

Do this:

Lorem ipsum wah wah wah.


Otherwise, everything will get squished all together and break up the contents all over the place.

For titles:

Title Text



I've included css for definition lists and unordered lists. There's also a sidebar if you want links, but that's it. This skin's meant to be really simple and easy to use, so there are no feature boxes, scroll boxes, or anything like that. You can add them if you like.

`thespook has tons of great tutorials and scripts for how to do them yourself.

Or I would, if DA would let me do so without getting a Premium Membership. Either way it's still an awesome design.

I don't know, haha. It's the default text used in the journal css test I use.

Sorry but do I need premium membership for this?
I have seen non-premiummembers ("normal members") that have a other journal than the detafult/green journal?!?!?

Freesong In reply to BlackArticuno [2011-08-23 16:56:39 +0000 UTC]

I'm behind the times regarding journals and what non-premium gets you, I'm afraid, but the last I knew, you do have to be a premium member to be able to use journals like this.

Don't take my word for it, though, things might have changed.

I faved this skin, but had a bit of a hard time using it. It is my fault, Im sure, as I am not that savvy at these things. I will try to use it next time I write a journal. But, thanks again for offering it for use.

Let me know if you're still having issues! I'm not the smartest of coders, so it could be something in the script. ¬_¬

Wonderful skin! I have one question though: How do you edit/remove the example links and sample header?? I've never used CSS codes before...

DisneyPhan01 In reply to Freesong [2011-04-03 00:08:59 +0000 UTC]

LOL yeeah, as soon as I sent my comment I saw that somebody else had already asked... There's just one problem, though, when I do that. It takes away any formatting I had put in enter-wise (you know, new paragraphs and the like). Do you know of a way to fix that?? I can live without it, of course, but I was just wondering.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Freesong In reply to DisneyPhan01 [2011-05-20 16:55:20 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yeah, the new lines need a

tag because I had to display: none the
lines to make the layout work...

For every times you want to line-break, you need to use a

aragraph tag, something like:

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard



And they're like... whatever the rest of it is...



It's a bit fussier than just type-and-going, sorry.

I like it faved and will used
but sorry, how to make this left links "gallery" and others...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Freesong In reply to BeyondThePines [2011-03-10 15:33:28 +0000 UTC]

Ah, sorry. I had to look it up. xD

Okay, so, go to "Write a journal entry" from the "Submit" drop-down up top, then click on Butterflies in Spring in the skin selector in the top left corner of the new page (assuming you've already installed it). Once it's highlighted, click on "edit skin", then take a look at the code in the "Skin Header".

You should see a bunch of links that look like "# example". Change the first "#" to the url of the link you want (your gallery, for instance), and then replace "example" with "gallery" or whatever you want the title of your link to be.

Hope that helps!
