I have been wanting to experiment with skinning for some time. I have stumbled on a few sites with tutorials but they seem very complicated... Does anyone have any starting points to recommend ? Thanks in advance!

The skin shading for that is pretty simple.


I think he meant it as PHP Skinning.

The best way in my opinion is to use a Content Management System like WordPress and install several themes (on WordPress you have to install a certain plugin to let your visitors be able to switch themes themselves though), but this tutorial at codegrrl.com really helped me before I used WordPress.

thanks mattness. is skinning more easy in php as compared to css ? is there any advantage to using one instead of the other ?

Personally, I think skinning using different stylesheets is easier for me.

I recommend tutorialtastic.co.uk if you want to use the generic php headers and footers though.

Yours is the best. Truly (Not being sarcastic) I probably should take that tutorial down because i've found that my sites skins don't change correctly on other computers.

Ah well, that's because some of the code in that tutorial is a bit 'dodgy', which is why I got rid of it off my site and wrote my own :)
