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.
[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

Thank you ^^
But there's certainly something wrong - the main background image (did I call it the header image in the description?) seems to be resized. Did you use Photobucket to upload it? You might need to change your file size settings to get the best result.

I used Flickr so that was probably the problem. I'll upload it again in a different account after I get home from work tonight and see if that makes a difference. Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me on this, I appreciate it.

*lol* No worries ^^
About the text: you need to open the header image in a drawing/painting program (Photoshop f.x.) and then write it on top of it. So no wonder you can't find it in the css.
But if you don't have a drawing program I can make it for you if you wish.

ohh okay. I was trying to figure out how to do that without actually having to put it on the image itself, but if I have to than thats okay. lol I was just trying to see if I could incorporate the font into the css to make it work. I know a little about css, but not much haha.

Wyrdling In reply to kTrox1322 [2008-05-22 10:03:04 +0000 UTC]
You could (but you would have to add a new paragraph to the css). The problem is that people who visits your profile doesn't have the same font and therefore wouldn't see it right. They would just see a normal type font (or whichever font they have that reminds of the name of the original font, if any).

I have one question, how do I make the title appear in the fancy font?
I installed the font and all, but I'm terrible at css, and can't find where I should 'lug in' the font to change the title..
haha

I used this, but did a few changes on it if you don't mind. I gave you full credit for the layout design and CSS so don't worry about that.
