To Skin A Plurk…

We as plurkers are a unique pleople! We all have different personalities and views. We all share our opinions and feelings with the world, and that’s what makes Plurk….well Plurk! So knowing this it makes since that our profile page should be unique as well. An essence of style that is each pleep in the plurkiverse. Unfortunately not many of us know or understand the fundamentals behind CSS so we use the same old default background for our pages. I feel there should be an easier way for the non-technical pleeps to accomplish this. Until that day comes, however, we must work with what we have, and what we have is a great site that explains exactly how to code certian parts of your profile page with CSS. I give you AZJazzyJ’s website Plurkskins.com.

Plurk Skin?
Well, first let me inform you that you will not learn basic CSS coding on this page (to learn that visit W3Schools). Instead what you will learn is quite a bit more valuable to the average Plurk user. AZJazzyJ has taken the time to delve through the Plurk CSS files, and pull out the most interesting tidbits of information to share with the Plurk community. He shows how to do things such as change the qualifier verb colors, add rounded Plurk boxes to your page, and much much more. He shares a lot of very interesting tweaks to your profile UI, and updates the site with new content all the time.

Is there anything at Plurkskins I should check out?
Well, being as I am a very busy man as most of you all may know I have not had the time to mess with the CSS in my profile recently. I will, however, share with you some of the Plurkskins blog posts that I have found interesting, and that will help you on your way to a spruced up profile page. My top 3 Plurkskins’ posts are as follows:

• Body and Time Line Theming
• Replacing the Loading Image in the Plurk Response Box
• Rounded Boxes Within the Dashboard

I hope these posts will help you on your way to create a little pice of yourself on your profile.

The End?
