How do I share Journal Skins?

If you are feeling generous, you can share any journal skins which you have created and saved with other deviants. To share your skin, simply read on.

Exporting/Saving Your Code

The first step to sharing your skin with others is to export your code to a text file. We have made this process very easy for you. Simply visit the 'Update Journal' link and click on the options tab. Once clicked select the skin you wish to share by selecting it through the skins selector. Proceed by clicking on the button entitled 'How to Submit' and a dialog will come up with special text you can copy directly in to a .txt file. After you have copied your code in to a text file you are now ready to visit the submission page.

Submitting Your Skin

Submitting your skin is easy, simply choose the submission category deviantART Journal Skins and load your .txt file in to the file deck. You will next be prompted to upload a preview image to be displayed with your skin. Finish up by filling out all of the required steps following and click on 'Submit'.

That's it you are done!

Please Note: If your skin contains links to images hosted offsite you will be asked to submit these files after you have clicked submit. If you wish to upload these at a later date that is not a problem, your skin will remain hidden from public view until you have uploaded these files.
