Description

Edit 13/12: Revised and updated-looking tut says almost the same exact things as it did before! Now with woodland creatures!

Thanks so much to everyone who has commented on and favorited these tuts. It really means the world when I know it's all been useful to someone.

-------------------------------

My goal is to explain in laymen terms what I learned trying to wriggle my way through CSS when I first started. I am not by any means an expert on the subject of dA journal skins.

That said, if you want a tutorial on fancy CSS, this isn't the tutorial for you. These tutorials will focus more on using a simple background image to make an artistic-looking journal, and just shifting basic essential CSS around to suit--nothing very advanced. It is, as it says, for beginners who are, in fact, beginning. c:

I hope someone will find this useful. Please comment if anything is unclear or you have additional questions or comments.

Part II: CSS

Journal: Repeatable Centers

You did an excellent job explaining how to create your own Journal Skin. I understood your instructions quite well. Now are the fox and bunny drawings of yours or are they images you found on a image free website? Thank you for making this tutorial!!
