Do you want to make user selectable skins for your web site, or do you just want to make it more graphical so it has a skinned look? How about a link?

hehe, well I have just used HTML and graphics I created in Photoshop. Do a Save as ... in Internet Explorer and choose "complete Web page". Then just pick through my source code and images and you'll see how I did it.

Basically, it's just HTML tables and GIFs. Some cells have an image in them, and others have background images instead, so text can be in them.

actually, i have been wanting to figure out how to skin a website too...the closest i have found so far is by using style sheets that are fairly predefined, but you make each a set, and let the user pick a set...see project seven's website at http://www.projectseven.com/magic/downloads/proj1sample.pdf


chapter one pretty much covers it, but it isn't exactly what i was looking for in the long term... might get you started though, as far as an interactive skinning capability for your site...

and if you want to get into doing s ome hefty css coding(which is nothing compared to hard coding a website) try Top Style Lite (freeware - the lite version. buy pro if you like it enough!) at http://www.bradsoft.com/topstyle/download/litedload.asp

this tool makes the creation much easier, and displays your changes as you make them...takes a little getting used to, though, like everything else in life.

enjoy!

Kinrik, my site is at http://www.skinsmith.com .
I have to second that plug for Top Style Lite. I use it for CSS coding as well. It's a great little program.

Hey Mike, sorry it took me so long to get back here...I wasn't around a computer much this weekend, and almost forgot this thread. Nice site. I think I saw a plug on the frontpage of this place a while back...just didn't put two and two togther that it was yours. Looks great!
