Welcome back! Sorry for the long delay between articles. I'm cutting them back to once a month so I have time to prepare nothing but the best CSS samples for you ;D
Let's begin!
Rounded corners
You might remember this from a while back, but it's back yet again, with updated code! Thanks to long time supporter PugnaciousOne, we have a new set of rounded corners code for you to get your slimy little mitts on. These look awesome and don't rely on external corner images to function.
You can download them from here: Corners Example by MonkeyShack. Any questions can be sent to myself or PugnaciousOne
Dynamic journal?
Yes! It is possible! To a certain extent. How would you like a journal that changed appearance every time you viewed it? Using an older bit of code from my gallery, you can!
Download Random images in your journal.. Replace the items in the array with your own backgrounds or icons or whatever, upload to your website, then point your background image to the script and you're set!:
CSS:
.journaltext {
background-image: url(location.to/random.php);
}
Now each time you refresh your journal, the image should change. Now your journal looks different each time! Easy, wasn't it?
Favebox updates!
I know I covered this in the last article, but it's just making such great progress, I thought I'd mention it again.
Faveboxes let you add a box to your journal, much like the News Favourites system, and lets people "favourite" a journal. New updates include the ability to pick the colours for your Favebox, upgrading for older journals, as well as easier to use and maintain code, so you don't have to mess with ?'s and &'s and such, and usernames starting with a P now work thanks for pickupjojo!
If you haven't claimed your Favebox yet, get moving! Check it out here: Favebox v1 and if you're using an old Favebox, then you can upgrade it too, just follow the link in the deviation and find the upgrade button on the website!
MSN statistics on your journal!
Most people don't know this, but there's a way you can let people who read your journal, know if you're on MSN. Using a third-party service and a bit of creativity, you can create a section in your journal that shows if you're online or not. Using MSNFanatic's Block checker, you can link to an image and tell the world if you're online:
HTML:

Joe User's MSN Stats
Don't forget to change you@yourhotmail.com to your hotmail address and remove the spaces . If you run into troubles, make sure to read the Triople forums before coming to me and asking questions.
Got something cool?
Then don't be afraid to send it in. even if you don't know a single scrap of CSS, send me your suggestions and I'll see what I can do. Just Send me a note and I'll get back to you ASAP
And that's it for this month. Remember that this is now a monthly thing, not a fortnightly thing. I'm interested to see what you come up with!

Err.. Hi! :D
It's that time of year where I submit a journal. So, this is it. Hi!

Sending me an instant gram
There is that new-fangled inter-net web-site that all the cool kids are on. It's called instant gram, and it lets you send photographs over the inter-net (which I predict won't last that long -- it's just a phase kids are going through)
If you have an inter-net, and an instant gram, follow me there. I post far more often there than I do here (and I don't know why?). I don't use filters, because I tweak my photos like a man -- by bending pixels with my own two hands.
Follow me on instagram
I'm also on Google+, Facebook and also on SmugMug (this link is really important! Bookmark it!)
In other news? I'm upgrading from my Canon EOS 40D, to a
Amethyst Eyes - The Book
I'm not sure why I haven't mentioned this earlier, but my wife, Enamorte (https://www.deviantart.com/enamorte) has published her very first book, Amethyst Eyes. It's been a few years in the making and has gone through lots of revisions to both the story and the characters (and even the way they look. See her collection of Amethyst Eyes art for a better idea.
There were many, many nights where she'd lock herself in her room and write furiously, and many times when we sat down and discussed the progress of the book (which at some points just seemed like an ever-shifting goalpost) but she did it, and I am so very proud of her for accomplishing what few have

davidgray Photography on Google+
I'm now on Google Plus!
Now that I'm starting to ditch Facebook over concerns about my privacy, features being opt-out instead of opt-in, I've turned towards Google's fantastic new social network - Google+. And it's already starting to pay off. In the short time that I've had my page up, I've got more followers than I ever had on my Facebook page. Most of them are photographers themselves and the quality of their work is of a very high standard. It's quite refreshing.
So if you're on Google+ (and even if you're not), head on over to my page and take a look. I'll be posting all of my 2012 365 challenge photos there, so keep coming back!
