Journal Skins: FAQ

Facebook l Blog l Twitter l Services l FAQ

:lightbulb: Can I use your journal skins?

You need to be a premium member to use any journal skins. With that being said, anyone on deviantART can use my journal skins as long as they leave the credits.


:lightbulb: How do I install journal skins?

  1. Install the journal skin.
    Click on this . . .


    and . . .


  2. Apply the journal skin in your journal.
    Create a new journal entry:


    Go to the options tab:


    Scroll down and click on “Choose a skin”:


    Click on the skin you want and click on “Ok”:


    And now it should look like this:


    :dance:


  3. Applying the divs.
    Click on the “Journal Text” tab:


    And copy and paste this code into the content section:

    <div class="jcustom"><div class="titles">YOUR TITLE HERE</div>
    JOURNAL TEXT HERE   JOURNAL TEXT HERE   JOURNAL TEXT HERE
    </div>


    The divs are the additional boxes in a journal. The text you're reading now is in a div. Each div has a name. Normally, in my journal skins, the divs are always titled "jcustom" or they begin with "jcustom" so just scroll through the CSS and look for it if you're not sure what it's called. =)

    *Edit: My newer journal skins have the div name in the box itself in the preview image of the journal skin.
    Take a look at this journal skin for example:


    You'll notice the titles of each section are some kind of box. The first box is titled "regular_box" because it's a regular box and to use it, just copy and paste this into your "Content" section:
    <div class="regular_box"><div class="titles">YOUR TITLE HERE</div>
    JOURNAL TEXT HERE   JOURNAL TEXT HERE   JOURNAL TEXT HERE
    </div>


    The third box is called "scroll_box" because it's a scroll box and to use it, just copy and paste this into your "Content" section:
    <div class="scroll_box"><div class="titles">YOUR TITLE HERE</div>
    JOURNAL TEXT HERE   JOURNAL TEXT HERE   JOURNAL TEXT HERE
    </div>


    Get it? All you have to do is replace the name of the first div class with the name of the box you want to get the div/box you want. =]


  4. Change the URLS in the links in the header.


    Under the "Options" tab, just edit the "Skin Header".


:lightbulb: Do you take requests?

I commission customized journal skins. Basically, I make them so that they're customized to exactly what you want. =]

What's the price?
$10 (US) or 800 dA points for each journal skin.

How will I pay you?
PayPal is the easiest way.

How will I get my journal skin?
Right now, I'm thinking I'll just email you the .txt file with the codes. But if you have a better idea, feel free to share.

How do I tell you I want a journal skin?
Just note me and let me know what you want.

Can I see examples of your work?
You can see some of my journal skins here: [link]


:lightbulb: I have an idea for a journal skin you should make!

You can leave your suggestions here.


:lightbulb: Where can I see all your journal skins?




:lightbulb: I have a question that wasn't answered here.

Please ask. =)

I'm not sure why that is. Maybe deviantART is having a temporary promotion or they've changed the policies so that non-premium members can use journal skins too. :)
