How do you add a journal template to deviantart?
First, to be able to add a journal template to your journal on
deviantART, you must be a subscriber to the website. This is a
subscriber only feature.
Before adding a Journal Template/CSS to your journal, you must
have a fair amount of knowledge of CSS coding.
When you have your CSS coding for your journal template
available, go to deviantart's website and follow these steps:
1) At the top of every deviantART page, there is a little dark
green square with an arrow in it next to your username. Click on
that.
2) A drop down menu will appear. In that menu, click 'Update
Journal'.
3) This will bring up a new journal entry field.
3 a) If you wish to edit a past journal entry, click on 'Edit
Previous Journal Entries' above the new one. Then select the one
you want by clicking 'edit' to the right of the journal title. This
will take you to that journal's edit page.
4) Here you will see 6 things. A Subject line. A link that says
'Header' (click to show). A text box titled 'Journal Entry'. A link
that says 'Footer' (click to show). An area to enter mood, and
current activities. A link at the bottom that says 'Add
CSS...'.
First start out by clicking 'Header' (click to show), if your
CSS uses a header. If it doesn't, skip to step 6.
5) A text box will appear. Here you put in the ccoding for your
journal header. You can do this by typing in the coding you wish,
or if it's a premade template, copy and paste from the downloaded
text document.
6) Next, go to the 'Journal Entry' text box. Here will be the
body of your journal. There should be some coding here as well. You
can do this by typing in the coding you wish, or if it's a premade
template, copy and paste from the downloaded text document.
7) Now for the Footer. Click the link that says 'Footer' (ckick
to show), if your CSS uses a footer. If it doesn't, skip to step
9.
8) Here, you enter the coding for your footer. ou can do this by
typing in the coding you wish, or if it's a premade template, copy
and paste from the downloaded text document.
9) Finally, it's time for the acual CSS that ties this all
together to make a journal. At the bottom, above the Preview and
Send buttons, there is a link that says 'Add CSS...'. Click
this.
10) A window will pop up saying: "Custom journal CSS should only
be used by advanced users with knowledge of Cascading Style Sheets.
Do you want to access the journal CSS editing area?" Click 'Ok' to
continue.
11) A large text box will appear. Here is for your actual CSS
coding, add that here.You can do this by typing in the coding you
wish, or if it's a premade template, copy and paste from the
downloaded text document.
12) When you are done, you can click Preview to see a small
preview of what your journal template looks like. Or, you can click
Done, and your journal will be update for everyone to see. This
will complete your CSS coding and journal template.
