Need help with skinning a website

Thu Jul 22, 2004 4:34 pm

I want to skin a personal website. I want users to have more than one possibility to view my website, with different skins. If anyone knows a tutorial, please refer me to it. Note I am a begginner at this sort of stuff so an easy tutorial would be the best ^_^;;

Thanks.

the only way that you can have multiple skins on a petpage is to have a second page on another server like geocities where the other skin is located (don't forget the neopets link on top), but that way you can't win a petpage spotlight...

He didn't say he wanted it on a petpage, he said a personal website.

Anyways, what you're talking about is a theme changer. The only theme changers I know of use PHP, and PHP isn't easy. I think to use one of those you also need a MySQL database, though I'm not sure.

I don;t really need it on my petpage, i need it on a personal website.

Do you think there are any easy tutorials out there that teach you Dragonfire?
Thanks.

You don't need a mySQL database unless you have individual users and want to store the skin of their choice I believe.

Painted Wings has a skinning tutorial though. Check the PHP tutorials section. Note: You have to register before you can browse the site.
