New Journal Banner

Allow me to direct your attention to my new banner. *grins* I changed my page theme and figured out how to use some basic CSS to add my own banner.  I'll have to read up on it to figure out how to refine everything to make it just so (if you know how to center things in CSS, I'm all ears), but it will do for now. I've been thinking about adding a banner like this for a while now, and it feels good to actually do it.

They're quite the ensemble cast, and that's not even half of the characters.

Well, I guess you could copy and paste it and email it to me.

Or, you can look at this guide that I used to tweak my own layout. It's for Flexible Squares, but even if you don't use that, you should be able to get something out of it. :)

And yeah, the trio closer up makes more sense.

My old layout was flexible squares, but I wasn't having any luck with it, so I changed it. I might consider changing back, but I sort of like the new layout too. With a bit of adjusting and some custom colours, it might be even better. I wasn't a huge fan of the way flexible squares grouped everything. It took up a lot of room, but I also liked how it separated everything.

Thanks for the link! I'll have a look.

Yeah, that was my original intention for the arrangement, but it can be so hard to adjust those poses (with everyone overlapping each other), so I didn't bother moving them the first time. It makes sense to have them more prominent, since the trio and Nervous are more like the "main" characters of the story.
