Dark and moody, if you prefer. I actually was working on a manip for =Nesi, since he wanted a preview image for one of his poems. Figured it would make a decent journal as well. Not my type of aesthetic usually, but I figure there's probably someone out there that might like it. Looks good in both FF and IE. Very easy to install and use, requires no additional code other than the CSS code in the CSS box. For any level coder.
Note: I used a fixed width here on the journal text, which may not be preferable for screens smaller than 800x600. [god bless you if you have a screen that small]
