Description
A quick reference sheet I drew up for the old journal style so people didn't have to fuss through dA's source code to make their journal CSS.The new default journal style (with round edges) has a different and more complicated structure. I think the old version is easier to work with, so thankfully we can still use it - just use the old classes found in the reference above and it will trigger dA to use the old layout.
Guides for the new structure have been created by `xork : [link] - and `ginkgografix has made one that compares the old with the new: [link]
Note that you must be a premium member (have a subscription) to use CSS in your journal.
If you're new to CSS, you should aslo check out html dog's beginner's guide to css , which is a great place to start. If anyone pointed you to w3schools, give them a smack

None that I know of yet are 'complete', the one above still requires you to change the values to your liking, but it's much easier than learning it from scratch eh?

I would say that I am a pretty advanced user, but still, this is pretty damn useful, since, first, it saves me from doing some source snorkling, and second, I now actually know that I can apply styles to the journal as a whole, and not just to elements that I write myself.
I anticipate much tweaking to go on in my journal.
