Hello,
Well you can create a skin using notepad, dreamweaver, or the free visual web developer express. - All of the same principles apply, you can basically use any programme.
You don't need the dreamweaver extensions to create a skin, your best bet is to actually learn the tokens and how they work with a skin.
I would recommend you start by looking at the skinning tutorials in
each issue builds on the knowledge from previous issues, so if you work through the skinning tutorials in issue number order, by the time you get to
in
Issue 27you should have some advanced skinning knowledge under your belt, hope this helps, thanks,
