CSS Copyright and Credit

:bulletred:`b0x0rz - Is CSS Copyrightable?
:bulletred:@autumnights - Why give credit for CSS? Answers here!

IE versus Firefox
Despite the fact that the majority of DA members use Firefox as their primary browser, it is a sad fact that amongst Internet users at large, and especially amongst large corporations (believe me, I have done my research on this), IE remains the dominant browser, with FF as a close second. So, given that fact, it is worth remembering that as shiny and lovely as your lay-outs look in FF, many that are only coded in FF and not checked in IE, will not render very well (or even at all in some cases) in IE. Now, you may not think that this matters, but it does. Many potential employers from outside of the DA community come here to look for talent. The look and content of your journal can be as important as your art, as that is what represents you. So, when coding your new journal, remember to check it in IE as well as Firefox, and even Opera if you are prepared to be thorough.

I really don't think you can hun. There is no where to insert the CSS. You can add html in there, and add external images and make it look fairly pretty, but I am pretty sure you can't add CSS perse.

:jawdrop: That's quite a list, Lorrie. :glomp: I'm going trough the links for almost an hour but I can't find the one I'm looking for. :laughing: I don't know if it exists, mind you, but I could use some help with those *popping* thumbs in my journal. :lmao: Maybe you had run accross it in your travels though. :D

:hug: Thanks for putting them all together. :thanks: My bookmark list suddenly got a lot shorter. :w00t:
