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

I get really confused when i have to do the image URL thing. I uploaded them to a website and pasted the URL's into the CSS code but it's not working. do you know why?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wyrdling In reply to frostandfrogs [2009-01-06 11:09:27 +0000 UTC]
It could be because you might have either deleted or added some signs. It often happens ^^
The line of code where you put the url should look like this:
background-image:url(http://...jpg);
Check yours and see if both brackets are there and that there aren't any ' or " signs around the url.
If that's not the case then tell me and I'll try to look into it further.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wyrdling In reply to Dogmasda [2009-01-07 07:05:05 +0000 UTC]
Hehe, alright ^^
You should fine the 'paragraph' in the code that starts with:
.title {
I can't remember if it is there, but find (or otherwise add it to the paragraph) a line that looks like this:
font-size:10pt;
Now, it can both be written in px or pt (the thing that it says after the number). Try to play around with the value and see if you can make it work ^^
Just make sure to be strict with your spaces (as in, don't write any) and signs. It has to end in a ; sign and not a normal dot for example.

Yes, you are ^^
Make sure you've read what it says on the preview image - it should tell you the basics. And if you then have questions or trouble with it, just ask.

Well ok I upload it and all, and then when I click the preview button it says "Css Error. {}Mismatch error (token: ) Or something like that...

Wyrdling In reply to LifeWithNoFriends [2008-12-30 18:13:33 +0000 UTC]
Oh, that means that you probably ended up deleting a bracket or added an odd sign somewhere in the code. Try copy/pasting the entire code from the original file again and then put the urls back in and see what it says.
Also, just to be sure since a lot of people make that mistake, don't put extra signs around the url or anything - it should look like this:
background-image:url([link] );
Let me know if it doesn't work after that, then I'll take a closer look.
