Okay, I'm gonna do it

Stay tuned.

I just finished skinning my site... my advice (unsolicited with no expectations that you give a damn) is to get everything working with php includes first, then work on the second skin. While you're working through the original layout, you'll notice little things--bits of code, CSS classes, etc--that you know need to be repeated in every skin. Write yourself a little "For Each Skin" guide and you'll thank yourself later. :)

(More than welcome to email me if you want any pointers or things aren't working, too!)

Thanks. I'll probably be needing it.

If I understood "skinning a website", this would probably be a much less frightening thread.

There's obviously more than one way to -- oh, never mind.
