Hello and welcome to Yink.net Autumn/Winter 2008 edition. This new skin is called Artist Journal its a modified version of Notepad Chaos original by Evan Eckard you can get the original skin from here.

I modified and tried to change as many elements as possible. The core code is as is I have done very little to it. I have added more textures and given it a darker feel. This is to reflect the shorter days we will experience. The core change to Yink is attributed to two reasons, 1. is the shift in the direction of Yink (as always : ) 2. is a gift I received which was a beautiful journal type book I received which I haven’t as yet used (silly I know). As for the Autumn Winter edition I hope to change the skin with the season, so its always fresh and new.

I explain a little more than I usually do as I was looking back at my old skins and thinking, ‘oh I don’t have a picture of such and such a skin which I did a while ago’. Which is sad as there has been many skins to this blog. I still had the last two skins saved so I created images of them to keep as a record here, so from oldest to newest:

The Love4U skin, by far my most favourite skin. The large image at the front was changed every month.

Beautify is my last skin before Artist Journal. The day of the week was written in Japenese and French.

Artist Journal my current skin. The style of this was done in a way which later flash sites began to use with real textures and objects before video made it big in flash. It does have some borrowed elements from Beautify. Thanks to Flo for reminding me its good enough isn’t actually good enough!

I still have other parts of the blog to neaten up and finish as is always the case, enjoy : )
