Hello, hola, bonjour, etc :). I'm a 21 year old African-American woman nicknamed Mimi. I am in my senior year of college, majoring and minoring in subjects unrelated to web/graphic design. Poetry is my anti-drug and as previously stated in the welcome message, I'm pretty random. Are you intrigued?

There’s a difference between pretty & beautiful. When someone is pretty, they have a good appearance; when someone is beautiful they shine on the inside and outside.

Using Skins w/ Wordpress
First and foremost, let me just say that this is not a "proper" way of having skins with your wordpress. The proper way is to use wordpress themes, but I found this method to work much better for me, it's fairly quick and easy (if you ask me). ONLY USE THIS TUTORIAL IF YOU ARE USING WORDPRESS FOR YOUR BLOG/UPDATES. I repeat, only use this tutorial if you are using wordpress just for your blog or updates. If you are using wordpress to maintain your whole site, this method is not for you. Also, SKIN YOUR SITE before doing this tutorial. I have tutorials on my site or you can try so-juicy.net or bouncy-bubbles.net

In your browser, go to your wp-admin. Then, select the option presentation. Select the CLASSIC theme.

Now either by using your ftp program or wordpress, open up the header.php file in the classic theme folder (go to wp-content>>themes>>classic) and delete EVERYTHING in it. Now, place your skin codes at the very top and this code right below it:

<?php wp_head(); ?>


So your header.php file should now look something like this:
<? include("/home/USER/public_html/skins/cookiecheck.php");?>
<? include($headervar.$extension); ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>


Be sure to edit the path and insert yours. Now your blog should match the rest of your site, however you still have to edit the index.php and comments.php file in the classic theme folder, so you can customize the look of your blog to your liking =].

If a sidebar is showing up or something, you may have to do an additional step. This step is to get rid of the sidebar (since you already have one w/ your different skins). Either you can open up the footer.php file in the classic theme folder and remove this code:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>


OR, you can just remove all of the coding from the sidebar.php file. I'd recommend the first. Please note that when you do this, you will not be able to have certain wordpress plugins that require you to use your sidebar.php file.

If for some reason things are not working out for you or I need to clarify things, then let me know and I will try my best to get to better this tutorial.
