Skin Me!

on: May/4/04 and its been viewed 921 times

I got the site skinning feature down. Hot damn.

This solves my issue with constantly revolving templates on this blog. Of course, you know - more skins to be coming soon…none tonight, though. I’ve spent way too much time getting the scripty stuff worked out.

    That is very nice :)

    Except - - now I won’t be able to keep track of how often you change your template ;)

    Guessing you used wp-hacks and the wp-styleswitcher. I found it rather nice as it didn’t require much work to add styles one set up. Now I want to know bout the wp-stats, didn’t even know we could do that.

    You and I have same tastes - I currently have my view set to “Freedom” ‘cuz it’s my favorite one, so far.

    Gorgeous.. just gorgeous. I’ve set to serentity today. Tomorrow will be freedom. I wish I had more to do than switch skins on peoples sites and AIM icons. Sometimes Housewifing it is soOooOoO boring.

    I may be in need of skinning service! I have been thinking of that feature and changing the look before my trip in Oct.

    Love the new skins (is it me, or is Serenity a little scary? Or do I mean eery?). Angelina is my favourite though.
