Description Edit on 8/11/2010:
Gosh, it's ages since I've worked on this one. Sorry for the confusion about how to install it (still haven't gotten around to adapt it to dA's new feature). You can still use it, though, you just have to do so the old fashioned way.
Also, a great, great THANK YOU to both *EvenDeathLies and ^ginkgografix - I cannot believe I got a DD!


Edit on 9/9/2009:
Thanks to ~Keyafoxdoghanyou I've updated the code with some changes to the css that was necessary to fix a new bug. I don't know why it occured - maybe DA changed something that made it read the code differently? Anyway, it should be fixed now.
If you use this template it is adviced that you download it again and "re-install" it. You only need to update the css since there's no changes to the images, so your old links will work fine.
If you have any questions, as always, don't hesitate to ask.

PS. The bug is only visible in Firefox - just in case you wonder why you can't see any bugs o.O

[EDIT]
This journal design was made before the new skins feature was implemented, so please be aware that you need to install the css manually to use it. It's not nearly as complicated as it sounds though XD
Just use the guide that's written on the preview image (above). The only thing that's changed is where you post the css code. Instead of CSS (beta) as it was called, you now go to 'Options' (a tab found in the top left corner of your new journal entry) and paste the css into the apropiate box. Remember to edit the links in the css to where you uploaded the images. And choose 'save as'.

If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll try to help.


THE LIGHT NEW VERSION IS HERE: Softer Dreams css design

[EDIT]
As it seems that many are having problems with not writing long enough journals (aka. the footer image has a non-flattering sharp line), I've uploaded a new .zip file with one additional image in it. This is the footer image in .png format with a transparent background - if you use this image instead of the .jpg version, you should also be able to write short journals without compromising the layout ^^

And in case you wish to center the footer image, please find the how-to in one of the comments below (or ask me).

I'm really happy that you guys like it so much! Much to you ^^

PostScriptum: Eh, forgot a very important thing - you need to put your mood section in the bottom for the footer image to work properly.



Wee! My first journal template ^^

I made this with the help of some awesome resources - please go here to see who. I've got the stock owner's permission to make this a free template.

Yes, a free template. So just go ahead and use this if you like - the how to is stated above (in the preview image). You're free to alter it any way you'd like, just don't claim that you made the original template (that includes images and the css). And please remember to note me - or comment on this deviation - that you're using it.

The .zip file (that you're downloading if you want to use this) contains a text file with the css, the preview image, and the top and bottom image of the journal. (There are two versions of the top (background) image - one without text and one with. Feel free to change it to your liking - the font I've used is also included.)

Wyrdling

[Note: This template can be used with both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox (partly - there seem to be some slight errors when viewed in Firefox still), and with screen resolutions 1024x768 and 1280x1024 (those are the ones tested at least).]

Please fave if you like it <3

You can just ask me ^^

Have you read the 'how to' on the preview image above? If you have and it still doesn't make sense, then tell me what you're confused about and I will try to answer my best.

Would you mind horribly if I used the code itself from this journal, but replaced your pictures with my own? I love how the whole thing fits together, but I have my own "layout" in mind, but don't know how to go about making my own from scratch.

Wyrdling In reply to Katze-Cat-KuroNeko [2007-08-14 11:18:19 +0000 UTC]

Sure thing, as long as you don't claim the original code to be your own. But tinker with it all you like ^^

justsomedude86 In reply to ??? [2007-08-09 04:32:32 +0000 UTC]

Just got a question, about the top text with the different font, how would somebody go about doing that? I figured out most of the journal besides that, and how would somebody change the text to something like that?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Wyrdling In reply to justsomedude86 [2007-08-09 12:23:18 +0000 UTC]

You need to take the 'blank' background image (the one I can see you've already used) and then use a computer program like Adobe Photoshop or even MS Paint (that comes with every Microsoft computer) and then add the text yourself. It's simply a part of the image ^^
Remember to download the font from the .zip file and add it to your Font's folder on your computer first.

Just ask if you need more help with it.

You need to be a subscribed member to see the CSS area in your journal. You can read more here: [link]

Hi... this is a beautiful layout. I'm using it as my current.

One question though. I'm new to using these user-made CSS layouts and I'm not sure if there's a "protocol" or an "etiquette" as to where I ought to post credit. Where do you prefer?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Wyrdling In reply to wolfmorphine [2007-08-03 09:28:34 +0000 UTC]

In theory you don't need to - I haven't stated a 'you must credit me' rule anywhere, so it's not obligatory. Actually I think it's very different from person to person wether or not they wish to be credited and how (some even makes a permanent link to themselves in the CSS they create).

As to myself I would be flattered if you just stated once in your journal text who's template you used ^^

If you can wait a couple more days, then I promise that I'll look into it when I visit my parent's (Thuesday to Thursday) - right now I'm at a computer cafe and they've locked the 'view source' function *tsk tsk*...
