I run my journal through Smooth Sailing, which I find it the easiest one to navigate and customise. Go to JOURNAL, then CUSTOMISE JOURNAL. You'll then get a page where the middle section gives you lots of different styles for your journal. Pick a style that has similar colours to the header, then apply it. Now, you choose a page set up.
Go back up to the top of this page and you'll see a box in the top right hand corner where there is an option to Customise Journal Theme. Click on that. You'll get a page with a whole bunch of options in a side bar on the right hand side. One of them will be titled Custom CSS. Click on it. You'll now get a page where there are several boxes, one of which is very large. In that box, you need to write:
You will need to replace the URL address in brackets with the actual URL of your image (upload it to Photobucket or a similar remote-loading website). You will also need to replace the number 150 with the height of your image in pixels, plus any additional space you might want.
If you don't want the image in the middle, you can align it to either side of your journal by replacing the word "center" above with either " left" or "right".
Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page to apply the customizations to your journal. And hey presto, that's it! I have lots of different customisations on my journal, because I'm a bit nosy when it comes to CSS (that's why I have different text for things, plus colours that match exactly and a blue tint), but it's something of a learning curve and I wouldn't advise making too many changes at first.
Thats how i made the Entourage ficathon com look pretteh
