How to upload Journal Skins

How to make and share ready to use journal skins on deviantArt is a tutorial that should help you getting started in uploading your skins to the deviantART Related / deviantART Skins & Scripts / Journal & Gallery Skins / Installable Journal Skins


section on deviantArt.
In this section you can find CSS journals to use and can easily install them by pressing on the install button. Why not give it a try?



THE "PRE CODE":

CSS Only [no Header and no Footer]




CSS with Header only

header goes here




CSS with Footer only




CSS with both Header and Footer

header goes here

Need more help?
I started learning CSS with w3scools.com and `NyssaB 's CSS Rundown + Template . Other useful tutorials with updated CSS including gruze is explained in `ginkgografix 's tutorials section that I highly recommend you check out here!


But I want to learn how to code CSS now:

Well I am sure the uploading part won't be hard if you follow these steps, seeing it is step by step. You can't go wrong. Making one...well that you have to learn how to code CSS

Wow, I'm having a look at the comments... I feel sorry for you . Thanks a lot for the tutorial, I can code the CSS but I can't actually use it (no PM), so I always send people here, hoping that it helps...

I have a problem. The "mood" emoticons inserted into a personal journal shows up in my Header area no matter if I select top or bottom. Am I missing a code within the skin's CSS area (header, body or footer)?

Kjherstin In reply to Catluckey [2012-02-23 09:57:47 +0000 UTC]

That shouldn't happen, There is probably a bug on DA

Catluckey In reply to Kjherstin [2012-02-23 13:48:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for responding. I actually got the CSS codes to "trick" the mood emoticons to appear at the bottom, right above the "Comments."

You can make it directly on DA, even use a text editor like notepad

You must have skipped one of the steps. What is the exact error code you get from deviantart when uploading?

Wait, if your header is something like

Heizui [2011-10-09 16:01:25 +0000 UTC]

is it possible to upload a skin made from icywoods? cuz the website only asks for links for the background etc, and arranges it all into codes for me, so i dont have the image of the skin only...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Kjherstin In reply to Heizui [2011-10-11 06:23:35 +0000 UTC]

you would need to host your own images from photobucket, imageshack or some other image host file

Heizui In reply to Kjherstin [2011-10-13 20:35:20 +0000 UTC]
