As a beta tester, I thought testing deviantART's new "Write a Journal Entry" program would be a good time to try to make a new Journal. My CSS skills are non-existent, and my HTML skills are extremely rusty; so transferring the codes from my old Journal into a new Journal Skin and adding new thumbs was a real challenge. Hosting my new header file via Sta.sh required help from a nice dA Administrator.

When I had finished and went back for the URLs to credit the two stock photos I used in my picture, I found that in the interim the stock provider, Auroradreams [link], had placed most of her stock in Storage including "The Green Apple," the photo I used. Since I used the photo in good faith, I have gone ahead with the posting of my Journal in the hopes that I won't have to delete my Journal for lack of a link to the photo. The horse stock photo entitled "rolling horse stock 5" was provided by Humblebeez at [link].

If the formatting for this Journal is poor, my apologies to the photographers whose artworks I wanted to feature. These are beautiful photographs and they deserve to be displayed correctly in all their glory. I admire the photographers' skills and their dedication to be at just the right place and at just the right time to capture the beauty of the scenes. Please check out the rest of the artists' Galleries for more wonderful photography!
