If I may suggest an alternative:
Rather than, "Why is no one..."
...instead why don't you make an easy to follow tutorial and post an article, "THIS is how you can decorate your magazine using CSS..."
If your goal is to have a more beautiful user experience for all who browse the second would seem more effective at achieving that goal.
If your goal is to humble brag and position your magazine (and coding skills) as superior to those of other mag mods, the first phrasing is the superior way to go about that.
I very much doubt your intent was to talk down to anyone, however, so I would very much advocate your writing up a CSS guide in pursuit of what I presume to be your goals (a vibrant and beautiful library of magazines here on kbin).
Your magazine is very pretty and I commend you for your decorative and coding skills.
I don't know CSS. I took the automatically generated background CSS (under appearance) & fed it into ChatGTP & told it how I wanted it to look. After a little trial & error to get that right, I tweaked the color codes till I liked them. That's pretty much it.
I definitely wasn't trying to talk down to anyone.
Still, could do a small informative post about how to go about modifying CSS of a magazine. This place is still relatively small and I bet many people don't even know there can be custom CSS (like myself lol).
