RAHHHHH!
Since I suscribed to DA, I always thought that personalizing your journal was an awesome feature! It is indeed really nice to be personalizing your page. Even if the html structure of skinning a journal is to me poorly done and give very limited combination to developers and designers, I've always thought all the turnovers you had to take on the code were worth it.
Lately, some AWESOME features have been coming out in css3 like stacking many box-shadows even in inset, using box displays, and even animations for webkit. Unfortunately DA is not following up those awesome features and half of css3 is forbidden in journal skinning... So frustrating... I understand there is security reasons under all this, but I personally think it is time DA makes something about customizing your profile a little better than what they give...
