During our "deviantART related" week of Project Educate you will have the chance to expand your knowledge regarding that gallery as a whole and its subcategories.
If you have a question regarding a certain subject, but can't find any answer in the news articles and events provided, feel free to contact `ginkgografix via note, mail or leave a comment.
The dA related week of Project Educate runs from Sunday October 31st until Saturday November 6th.
Sooner or later everyone with a Premium Membership tries to style their journal and/or gallery a bit more. It doesn't always have to be very complex, but still there are things you should keep in mind to make sure everything will work without problems.
To give those that aren't really familiar with CSS and journal/gallery styling or those that give it a try for the first time, this news article should provide you some useful resources to avoid any frustrating experience.
No matter if you style your gallery or your journal you always have to make one choice first. Do you want to make a layout on your own or do you want to use something made by someone else. If you choose the latter than you need to make the choice if it should be a public skin or a custom one(just made for you) as well.
A while ago I already wrote a rather complex news article that explains the most important things you need to keep in mind and take care of, when you want to apply CSS to any journal/blog or gallery.
So if you are clueless about what needs to be done read this: Journal/Gallery templates – A Guideline. It should cover everything you need to know.

But what IS a CSS? *dies of embarrassment*
I just got a premium membership, and I hear (or see, i guess) that all the time
At deviantART CSS can be used to style the journals a bit more, than just using the plain default skin
I see >.>
Thanks much ^^
Now I won't sound like a complete idiot when talking to people about journals
My pleasure!
