I’ve been using EE and pM since early 2003. I need a new skin for my blog that lets me do a bit more with it and gives readers access to my some 3,400 posts. Anybody selling skins and installing, modifying them for clients?

Hi, Oldedit - if you need to hire a designer, you can do so by posting on our Job Board ($20/post) or by hiring someone on our Pro Network.

Hi, Lisa,
I’m not looking for a designer. Can’t afford one. Just got quoted several thousand dollars for creating a simple blog on EE2. It’s sad that you can’t create a blog yourself on EE2 the way you can with WordPress.

Hi, Oldedit - you can use templates from nearly anywhere by stripping them down to the basic HTML and CSS, putting them into EE templates and adding EE tags whre your dynamic content should go.
train-ee.com has some great tutorials on this process.

Ok, thanks, Lisa. I’ll explore that avenue. I guess I’ll have to find someone who can use my skin/template and make it work the way I want it to.

The other option is to use one of the fabulous ExpressionEngine themes over at WooThemes. They may have something you like or can adapt to use.
If anything else comes up, please don’t hesitate to start a new thread.
