Okay! So I have been teaching myself CSS, in an attempt to make journal layouts that are easier to use as per a lovely, thoughtful critique I received on my Half-Life Two thingabober.
I learned a lot.
I learned a lot of nice shorthand that would clean up the CSS and reduce line numbers in each rule, and contextual markers to get rid of the spastic amount of div layers I was using.
I built it, and it was beautiful.
And then I realized that Deviantart Journals don't allow normal, XHTML markup formatting tags. Things like < p > and <h1> and <h2> go completely unnoticed! D:
Which essentially removed the functionality of my new CSS.
You see, rather than assigning everything and it's brother a div layer, I bundled it all in to something simple, like this:
.journaltext .scrollbox p{
color: rgb(255,255,255);
font-family: arial, tahoma, verdana,helvetica;
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: justify;
line-height: 2.0em;
}
Essentially, this meant that in the .journaltext (the journal), withint a .scrollbox identified div layer, everything contained within the < p > tag would have the listed properties.
So instead of < div id="scrollbox" > < div id ="header" > Business < /div > < div id="scrolltext" > content, shmontent, < /div > < /div >, one could write < div id="scrollbox" > <h1>Business</h1>
Content, shmontent.
It's much simpler! And less crazy!
But...I can't. These rules are ignored on DeviantArt Journals. :/
Lamesauce.
And I don't feel like rewriting it. So. Not another until I have the patience again!
In the meantime! I've been working very hard on an ink project that has lots of teeny, tiny details. :>
She'll be done soon, and then I can share!
