Description Here's my Bookshelf CSS, updated and changed a little bit... and turned into a skin. See it in action at #EditorialSquad , though I continue to play with it there. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any problems.

This skin does not show the Mood list, ie. "listening to", "watching", etc. The next edition will.
The footer is touchy. When you change the quote, hit "Preview" and make sure it looks right.

Rules:
Do not remove the credits to me.
If you play around with the CSS, leave my name on it, even if you alter the wording to cite yourself as well.
You may not resubmit this as your own work.

----------------------

For those of you without access to Journal Skins, click 'Download' and it will give you the raw code to put in your journal in the format:



## HEADER TEXT ##



## FOOTER TEXT ##


Just copy and paste. I know Groups have some trouble with Skins.

I love this! I love books - this looks so scholarly and warm and fuzzy May I install this?

You'll have to copy and paste from the text file... no matter what I do I can't get the little "install to journal" button working.

Maybe it's just me, but the codes don't seem to work.. do I have to move some commandes to the "heading" and "footer" boxes? :0

If you read the artist comments it tells you what the sections are that have to be copy/pasted. Sorry, I don't remember them off the top of my head.

I know, I'm sorry. There's gotta be a typo in the text file somewhere that made it not recognizable. I'm not sure how to fix it. If you hit "download" you can copy and paste the text manually.

Perhaps I'm just missing something, but I can't seem to find the "install to journal" button. It's a lovely piece, by the way. I love the H. G. Wells quote.

I like this a lot, but my technical non-skills preclude me from using it.

I've been meaning to work on it so it has the "install skin" button option... and make it easier to use. It's fairly straightforward when it comes to the journal itself.. it's all of

Title Text
to make a title. (Or it should be, when I'm through with it.) I think there was a title, and then the title with the underline, which I named something that escapes me at the moment. (Might've been header, might've been titleU...) Once you've done it (or seen an example), you get used to it fast.

Very cool I liked it before, but it looks cleaner now even.

Not much has changed. Oddly enough, it still won't show the "Install to Journal" button... I may have to delete it and re-submit it to see if that'll work.

I'm sorry, I seem to be CSS illiterate.. I need it divided for dummies..
I would love to use this for my group, if possible? But when I try to put it in the box, I can't tell for sure what goes where and it keeps telling me the journal's not valid.. ? Would you help me please?

MotleyDreams In reply to Faoiltiarna-Wolf [2010-02-02 03:31:02 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry you're having trouble!

You're going to have to take pieces of the file (not the whole thing) and place them in the boxes... it's the 'Extra' link for groups. The file starts with line (eg. style section is ending).

After the tag, there's some stuff to put in the Header box. Everything up to should go in the header box, then ignore the tag, and put everything remaining in the footer box.

If this STILL doesn't work, let me know... I've had some trouble with group CSS, I think there's something different about group blogs versus user journals. If it likes the code but doesn't look right, I can edit it for you so you can try again.

Sorry it's not straightforward!

*grins* It's ok, trying it now. I'll probably have to have someone send it to me as a "C&P this part here into the header box, now C&P this part to the middle box and then C&P this part to the bottom and you hit this button and this button and type this in and save it" *dies laughing*
Well.. it's kinda working.. however when I try to use it, it's showing the coding for the Header and the Footer above and below the text of the blog.. *facedesk* I think I'm going to go to bed..

If you give me your email address, I'll send it to you as such. I'd send it by note, but dA will convert some of it (being more intelligent than us, of course) to emoticons or other things.

Thanks! I'm not sure what's up with the button, but if you hit download you should be able to copy the code to your journal. Hit the Options tab in your entry and copy the first piece to the CSS Code box without the
