:omfg: - LIVE PREVIEW (includes code instructions)

I've named this skin 'Potentially Obnoxious' because it doesn't come with a pre-installed header image - I leave that part up to you.

Will you leave it white and clean? (BORING!)
Will you select something tasteful?
...or will you *gasp* choose something obnoxious?


:bulletred: SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

When you first install the skin the main thing you'll want to do is get yourself a header background, and then perhaps you'll want to change the width of the journal and the text area inside. The variables for these three properties are right at the top of the CSS so you don't have to look far.
To add a header image, replace .journaltop{background:#fff} with .journaltop{background:url(UR IMAGE URL)}.

By default the skin will only grow wide enough to show 710px horizontal. If you want to make sure people see a wider header, change the second variable, .journalbox{max-width: 630px}. Note that there is 80px of padding that doesn't get included in the max-width value, so if your image is 1000px wide, you'll make your max-width 920px.

The last variable, .journaltext{max-width:550px} restricts how wide the journal body text will grow to. The reason for this is readability - lines of text that stretch the whole screen are annoying to read, so if you want to be obnoxious you'll delete it ;p

I won't install your journal skin (Not that it's not good, but I generally make my own), but I will keep in mind the data here. This is useful info! :D

That's an attitude I can respect; I love to see people making their own journal skins :nod:

Hey, thanks for the response. And again, thanks for the info. This stuff is good to know (I didn't think you could set a journal to an absolute size, for instance).
