Interview with Bitter
Please could you describe your skin
Well when I first started making it, I wasn't sure what I was going to do, and I was always a fan of the IP .Board Pro skin just because of how well it works with the light colors and the dark category headers so from there it just sort of turned into a simplistic blue/white skin that can really be used for a lot of different purposes and can easily be customized to fit people's needs.
Please explain why you decided to come up with this skin, and why you think it has benefited the community
I wanted to have something light and a lot of people in the past have told me they wanted a blue skin, but I hate the site of all blue skins, it gets a little rough on the eyes, so I figured a light skin with blue accenting it was a nice touch.
Please give us a few details about yourself, and why you decided to start creating skins for IP.Board
I don't know about other people, but I like to take nothing, and turn it into something. I am always looking for new projects to tackle and I am always amazed to see what people can code. I was never great at coding at all, and I am probably still pretty terrible at it, but it always interested me so I figured skinning was something minor that I could attempt that wouldn't hurt me if I completely bombed it. But a year and a half later, business is bigger than ever. I never saw this coming, and I appreciate all the support I get from customers and fans and such. If it wasn't for the support I get I would probably have stopped.
Have you any tips for people that are interested in skinning for IP.Board, but don't know where to start?
Hmm, where to start. Well, one thing that annoys me is people who try to skin to make a ton of money right away without knowing what they are getting into. It may look easy, and for some people it is, but if you don't know HTML or CSS or how IP .Board works, it just would be a lot tougher to get into. So in a nutshell, know what you are doing and plan ahead. Another piece of advice I would give is to not start selling skins right away. Release a couple free ones and get your name out there before you start selling them so people know you are serious and that you can make quality stuff.
