About it, you know my opinion yet. Love it
It may sound difficult to comprehend but you can see it visually here [link]
Not to compliment you, but the day I get my premium, one of the first thing I did was to try your journal skins, which i was unable before. I just like their classy look.
Did you learn to code by yourself? Sorry if Im too curious, I dont want to bother you, say me if I do.
Thanks for the link. Bookmarked now
To answer to your question, back in the days that I was theming for Sony Ericsson phones in 2006, deviantart started this journal customization craze, it was around october 2006 when it all started. People like `nyssi and `mynti were offering journal templates and guides to learn it, they were the first to try this new feature as `nyssi was admin staff back then and `mynti was a member of the Creative staff. Thanks to `nyssi, I was able to understand how to code and slowly started making my own journals along with =badboythemer. It seems he stopeed along the way and only got commissions while I was sharing all my journals with the public as I learned more and more until I became a serious coder for deviantART journals. Just like theming, it's addictive but more fun!
I later discovered after a competition on deviantART where you had to code a CSS journal without images that coding is actually an art in itself. So while many people make their mockups in Photoshop and code for it, I do it in reverse, I code it bare and use Photoshop for my colour picker and after I have coded most part of the journal, I make the images or edit pictures in Photoshop to add to the journal.
So you see, I started way back in 2006. I am constantly searching for new codes on google or trying new things that `thespook and `xork may share to try on deviantART. I'm sure that you as a themer would probably like coding too one day, who knows? CSS designing is a much bigger canvas than a mobile phone, more challenging too.
May I ask you if there is something on dA you would recommend to read, and learn first?
Once again, thanks Christina
