Christmas Decorations

I revamped last year's Christmas layout and I set it as the default skin for the Christmas season. I have two Christmas layouts that you can set using the drop-down menu on the sidebar or by going to page 2 of the skins gallery. Or, you can click the handy links below:

I think they're...really neat. But I ain't messing with my template.

Bill,

I don't blame you about that -- messing with the templates is a pain. I have things set up so that if I want a new layout, all I have to do is make a new stylesheet. The only template changes I've made lately was to use the MT-Blogroll plugin instead of Blogrolling and to use some of the newer MT tags so that I could turn off trackbacks for a post but yet still display previous trackbacks.

Beautiful! Do you ever do anyone else's blog? I have no idea how to skin anything, and I like my design, but I do get a little weary of it.

Hi Patty,

Thanks! :-) In the past, I have done a few little modifications of my own designs for a couple of other bloggers as a favor. (I don't think the blogs in question are around anymore.) I have also helped a few bloggers with questions about templates and CSS. And I recently did a design for my sister's professional website, but we still need to work on it. Aside from working on my sister's site, I haven't done any all new designs in over a year. I just haven't felt very creative the past few months. However, I'd like to get back into it again.

Patty,

I have to make a correction to the above. I did do some sort-of-new designs for my faith journal and my radio station page. (Links are on the sidebar under "My Other Places".) The faith journal design was pretty simple and was pretty much a modification of one of the default MT stylesheets. The one for the radio station was a revamp of another design I have used.
