Display issues have been fixed. The journal layout will now work properly.

I hadn't intended to release this Halloween version, but rather a non-seasonal pack at a later date that would feature multiple colors. Due to a misunderstanding, I wound up getting positive feedback for this version and decided to release it anyway. The CSS consumed a lot of my time, but I corrected the vast majority of display errors in IE--you know, so it actually displays.

This layout kind of just happened. The original concept was much more folksy and had these really wide vertical black/orange stripes. When I put the journal together, it looked, well...absolutely horrendous. Without meaning to, I got sucked back into a modern, glossy design. There are still some aspects that I think will be changed for the non-seasonal versions, such as a left sidebar that runs from top to bottom with the aid of a background graphic, but I didn't have the time to play around as Halloween is coming soon.

Be sure to experiment with the layout. I gave a few examples, but so much possible. It's not really that complicated of layout to manipulate, but trying to explain what everything does was very difficult. I can only hope that what I wrote will be clear enough.

Be sure to follow the instructions in the readme!

Features:
Choose either a single or two column layout
Designed for a 1024x768 resolution
Designed for both Firefox and Explorer with minimal loss of aesthetics in IE
Many customization options
Menu links feature mouse-over descriptions (Removed in v.1.2)
Static left sidebar
A slew of elements join together in a multitude of combinations to create a personalized journal layout
Advanced users may wish to take advantage of the extra graphics included, as well as the original "Orange Moodbox" version (available in a one column layout, although it's not difficult to apply to a two column one).
