Hi everyone. I've been working on a tutorial which is going to be about 13 parts. It is essentially building a layout and what different parts of the coding does. If you come across a part of my explanations that just doesn't make sense to you at all... feel free to comment and ask.
I want to work with an already made layout and show you some differences and how things work. The idea is going to be that hopefully you will be able to remove sections of your layout and replace it with coding from another. This would be required if you liked the look of a layout but wanted the sidebar from another.
Also, most coding options like font's, text alignment, etc can be found in the Code Index. If you don't find something there please post a comment to the Code Index and I will help you out.
First things first, if you are going to be messing with your own journal chances are it will look odd for a bit. So if you currently have a coded layout save it. Copy the coding. Open a Notepad Text File. Paste it into the text file and make sure Word Wrap is off. Then save it. I tend to save mine as sireesanwar03-15-2015. That way I know it was for my personal journal and what the last date was that I used it. I always save my old codes in case I want to go back to them OR I mess something up and want to go back. This will also enable you to stop working in the middle of the new coding, save it in a similar manner and reinsert your old coding so if you have to stop for the day you journal is still readable.
