How do I change the style of my Journal?

This is done by utilizing the CSS feature. To use CSS in your journal you will first need to have a Subscription to deviantART or be a Senior member. If you fall under one of these categories read on.

To add CSS to your journal you will need to click on the 'Update Journal' link, doing so will take you to your journal update page. Next you will need to click on the link entitled 'Add CSS...' under the heading CSS Beta, which is located below the listening to, reading, watching fields. Clicking this link will drop down the field to enter your CSS code in to. After you're finished adding in your CSS code to your journal and have filled in all other fields you wish to apply your new style to, you will need to click on 'Update' to apply all changes.

If you're new to CSS, you can check out some tutorials or resources created by other members listed in the following News article 'Journal CSS Resources'.

Please be advised since CSS is an outside coding source the Help Desk will not be offering CSS support. If you have questions regarding CSS, please feel free to ask them in the Programming Forum.

Please also be advised, that you're not allowed to have content floating outside of your journal.
