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.
<3
Erica
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.
[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
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.)
[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

Wyrdling In reply to AllNightRain [2009-04-19 08:04:07 +0000 UTC]
No worries ^^
You need to go to photobucket.com , make a new account, and then upload the pictures you want to use from the zip file. When you've uploaded an image you can hover the mouse over it and a small popup box should appear - it's the third link in the box that you should copy and paste into the css here on DA.
Just ask if it's tricky and I'll see if I can help.

I think you might be using the header image in the footer too?

lazywolf In reply to Wyrdling [2009-04-14 19:50:42 +0000 UTC]
Let's see--all I did was paste the CSS into the CSS field and entered the location for the background image. After that I added the title in the header. Was I supposed to add images in the header or footer also?

Wyrdling In reply to lazywolf [2009-04-14 21:19:07 +0000 UTC]
Yup, there should be two places where you need to write an url - maybe you copy/pasted the first link twice? I don't know - in any case, try upload the footer image and see if you can figure out where it should be in the code.
I'll look it up if you need help with it ^^

Wyrdling In reply to AnitaSadowska [2009-04-13 14:53:48 +0000 UTC]
The blue grass writing you 'change' so to speak, by using the blank header image and writing a new text on it (and then save and upload of course) I've included the font needed for it in the zip file.
About the other changes just try your way around - that's the easiest way to do it.

I'm sure, I checked if you had made either a mistkae or added a space in some of the wording but no I dont think you did.

Wyrdling In reply to Aimee-Lesley-Sim [2009-03-21 08:44:40 +0000 UTC]
Nah, I was rather thinking that you might made a mistake? When the css works for other people using firefox I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with the css itself. I should have had some more complains then if that was the case.

How do you get the subject font to change? Also when I preview the journal, there is only a gray template no pic.

Wyrdling In reply to laludia [2009-03-02 21:55:27 +0000 UTC]
Oh, you see, the 'curly' writing is a static text on the header image itself. The subject of each journal you have to write inside the
The reason why the images won't show could be that you've used the wrong url perhaps (it's been seen before) or deleted the brackets perhaps. Try to copy the part of the css code where you put the urls in (and post it here) and I'll try and see what's causing the trouble.

Thank you I've read one of your reply, that the curly letters must be typed directly on the image. Stupid me.

I fixed the image problem, but the word Blue grass keeps showing. My subject keeps centering itself and is not at the left side in large curly writing.
