skinning?

October 2, 2003 3:46 PM from

Was just wondering if most of you people that skin have taken a class in some kind of school or just learn it on your own? Seems like there's alot of different things to know, just wondered how you went about it. Thanks, Richard

They learned it on there own, and by asking question here when they get stuck.

Oops I shoulda mentioned that a lot of kind folks here on the board pre-tested my skins before their release which helped me incredible-much! *SMOOCH*
