For some reason it keeps coming up with the error message "undefined" when I'm uploading the pics to go with it...
I'm using tinypic... Should I use something different?

I have one question though:
Where do I put the CSS code? I have the preview and everything but it says:
The CSS in the file you uploaded could not be validated.
Malformed or black selector -
What do I do? I am pretty sure I've done everything needed.

Maybe it's too much info to take in at once. Just take notice of the different steps and possible situations.

I'm a bit confused about the CSS code part.
I've already done my journal skin coding, but I don't know how to put the whole thing together
It's the precode;
header goes here
footer goes here
What do I paste in the 'Paste in your CSS Code here'?
And when you have the 'header goes here', etc, thing, do I paste the images in there?
Sorry If this doesn't make sense. :c

I updated my description with the different possibilities of the "pre code" to upload your CSS journal. I just copied what was on the tutorial itself to make it easier for everyone to copy paste.
To upload your CSS code you have 4 different situations.
1. Either you have only coded CSS with no header and no footer or
2. You have codded the CSS and made a HTML code for your Header or
3. You coded the CSS and made a HTML code for the Footer or
4. You coded your CSS journal and included a HTML syntax for both Header and Footer
I hope that clears things up now

I figured it out a while ago, but still, thanks again for answering.

pliss do me a favor... tell me what is :CSS Header and Footer XD pliss
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is where you can put the header [link]
The header is the top part of your journal and the footer is the bottom part
For example [link]
The rollover buttons with links have the HTML code in the Header and the footer has the copyright text with: "Coded an designed by Kjherstin..."
For the HTML to work, they are coded in the CSS

Wait so you upload the images along with the CSS and in the CSS you change the image URL (When the URL is from an image hosting site) to the name of the uploaded pictures to deviantart? (Hope that made sense.)
