CSS/HTML Tricks: Article LayoutHello!
Another tutorial for news articles and journals on dA!This one is meant to help you add structure to your news articles (and personal journals) and thus enhance the reading experience for your audience.
I have already written a tutorial on the topic of HTML Literature, but only showcased what is possible there. It is almost the same as :faq104:
This tutorial will try to explain why you should use additional HTML in your articles and how it helps improve their quality.
Also it turned out to be quite long, so skip to your liking.
For further reading please refer to CSS Tricks: Limiting .text width, which explains the necessity of limiting your text width.
Why is structure important?
Nobody likes reading a wall of text. If you look at an article and all you see is a grey blur,CSS/HTML Tricks: Article Layout by ^pica-ae

Designs and Interfaces Update

Fri Jun 14, 2013, 1:45 PM

With `princepal's term as Community Volunteer being over (go hug him and say thanks

) the position for Designs & Interfaces is currently open again, you can learn about how to apply here.
For the time being, I will also accept Daily Deviation suggestions from the Designs & Interfaces gallery.

So keep them coming!

This also means, that if you apply for the open position and become a Volunteer, we will work together on the gallery: support deviants and related groups, host contests and challenges, write featured articles and so on and on.

So, what are you waiting for? Send me some awesome Designs

Oh and you know what? You should totally go look for deviations while browsing the new Undiscovered (beta)!

I will still be taking DD suggestions for Text Art and Typography, both traditional and digital

And I will continue to do so

Please send suggestions for Game Development Art to ^PolyMune

Wonderful Artworks

About Daily Deviations

A few things before you start suggesting:

Make sure it is in the right gallery! I take suggestions for Digital Art > Typography & Traditional Art > Typography
Make sure the deviant hasn't received a Daily Deviation in the last 6 months.

How to suggest

There are 2 ways to do this:

Send me a note titled "DD Suggestion" by going to my profile and hitting the "Send a Note" button.
Add the thumbcode (or link) of the Deviation.
You can also send me a note directly from the Deviation. If the user enabled sharing options there will be the "Share on deviantART" button.
Add me as recipient and add the reason why it should be a DD in the message field.
