OK I have some ideas for the browser as incentives or extras as being apart of the site:
_________________________
_________________________
Premium Skin Suites. WinCustomize will be offering in the coming year two premium suites. These suites will be able to completely transform your desktop and look totally cool.
PLUS
Allow subscribers to sell a suite (pending approval by wincuso) or promote a suite. (a suite has to have more than 5 skins for 5 different applications and incude a major application like DX or WindowBlinds)
_______________________________
_______________________________
Extra WinCustomize features. New features will be added to the site specifically for WinCustomize subscribers. Features will include journals, auto-notification of comments made to submissions you've made, notification to responses to messages you've made, personalized domain where users can interact with your website.
PLUS
How about subcribers can now have user icons next to there name (as a option) at 23x23 pixels.
Also what about having a site change for something that matches a skin you made. Have a way that a subsciber can load up graphics in the format provided so they can have a site that matches there skin. (I currently made a modification on Deskmod site for people who sign in over there called JTB and JTB 2 and it matches the colors of my site and a future skins based off of my site)
How about having discounts on tech stuff? Link up with a store chain and offer discounts for Wincusto Subscribers.
Have the ability for subscibers to be on the network of Skinners For Hire. Maybe they can get extra work on the side
Subscibers can make there own Skin Cast station (like TheWB or Disney) for possible new ways to promote themselves or others and maybe costomers they have from there own site. (not sure about this one
)
Discounts on Wincustomize Store items (not all just some). Start selling matching covrs for the tower for the desktop or covers for a laptop that look like a skin or suite design.
Resources to find jobs for skinners/webdesigners/graphic artists and resources for businesses to get them.

I also think having a skinner association would be so helpful. Learn how to skin, techniques, and learn about the industry of graphic design and art (and how not to get abused by shady businesses)
