Skins by Kristarella!

9 November 2009 by kristarella

Incase you missed it on Twitter and haven’t looked at my nav menu recently, last week I released a couple of free Thesis skins.

Skins are basically a set of custom files to style and (sometimes) add more function to your already installed Thesis blog. The ones I’ve made have quite an attention to detail in the styles and add widgetised Multimedia Box and footer to your blog, and more.

Check the skin pages Mini and Cappuccino for more details, screenshots and demos.

    Kris,

    Thanks! 🙂 I applied the Cappuccino skin to my site linked above. As you know, I like your work. Cheers!

    Are you planing on releasing your site as a skin? I would pay, I’m sure a number of people would. Though, that would remove the uniqueness of your site.

    Cheers, it’s a great site BTW.

    Ben — If I change design I may release this as a skin, but you’re right, not while I’m using it 😉

    I wouldn’t release it while I was using it, either. You have a great look. Curious – have you written a tutorial that describes how you’ve formatted your comment section?

    James — Not really. I mention in my full-width framework video that it has to do with that, but not sure I’ve said much more about it.

    Sara, have you been to http://diythemes.com/forums yet?

    Sara — All the resources you need can be found around the web; you can try starting with Thesis, the various tutorials available for it, and the CSS and XHTML resources at Tizag.com and W3 Schools. To be honest, this site was the culmination of about 4 years of learning — you can see the progression of my site here — I’m not saying it’ll take that long to learn to customise your site, it won’t, but don’t expect it to happen overnight either.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
