This tiny tutorial contains basic tips on designing graphics for custom journal on deviantART. It was written for people who don't know much about CSS (if they did, they would know everything from this tutorial already). Please note: it assumes that CSS work would be done by someone who knows what they are doing and it does not warn against some solutions that might require advanced coding.

One thing to note is that DA recommends 400px max width for the "front page" view so that 800x600 is still compatible even though the average is larger.

Anyway, if the journal is coded properly, it would adjust to every resolution, 800x600 included. In the worst case scenario part of header/footer image would get cut off xD The thing that irks me most are sidebars. Sidebars narrower than 100px are useless, and they really start to look good in 1152xX+. In 800x600 there would be, like, 250px left for main text. It must look ridiculous XD

Fluid layouts are the way to go

Ogólnie do tego wszystkiego da się dojść metodą prób i błędów, a cała reszta cssa to już tylko kwestia wprawy, chociaż pewnie wielu osobom się przyda tut.
Najgorsze jest to, że dev uparcie nie chce wyświetlać niektórych komend (cała sprawa z position=absolute/relative jest pogrzana totalnie) i trzeba rezygnować z rozwiązań normalnie działających na stronach. Css deva działa genialnie jeżeli chodzi o proste rozwiązania (tabelka z obrazkiem u góry, broń Boże nie wchodzącym pod tekst), ale każdy design wymagający chociaż trochę bardziej skomplikowanego kodu jest morderczy w wykonaniu. Wiesz, że moje tło tabeli, aby poprawnie działało musi być baaardzo długie, bo nie dało się go zmusić do powtarzania się?

In that case, everything would get sticked to top left and would be boring as hell
Hey, as someone who is experienced with dA css - have you run into cross-browser compatibility problems when pushing divs into header (journaltop) and footer areas (negative margin method)?

Adminka tego klubu poprosiła mnie o kilka wskazówek, wg których lud powinien zrobić grafę, żeby działało - i w ten sposób powstał ten tut, dla ludzi, którzy pojęcia nie mają o cssie
Position absolute i relative to absolutna masakra w IE6. Można to jeszcze ułożyć w normalnych przeglądarkach, ale naprawdę nie mam pojęcia, które układy będą działać w IE6. Loteria.
Dziwne O.o Szczerze mówiąc, spodziewałam się większych problemów z cssem dA. Najwięcej trudu przysporzył mi IE6, reszta poszła w miarę łagodnie. Niesamowite... jakim sposobem można bloknąć tło tabelki? >.> dA jest niesamowity. xD

People who "drop by" are never going to spend time reading peoples journals, they are just here to steal the art. (You know its true lol)
IE just doesn't like negative margins.. though apparently 7 is slightly better, its a fine line between good coding, DA's limited allowances and how far you are prepared to not code for IE.
