What are you waiting for?
I've had a very fun past couple of days making them and then editing them to look better. The site actually makes it easy for you to make them and you can do some amazing stuff using really basic code (i do have basic HTML knowledge but before this week i had 0 experience of CSS and found this language was really nice to work with). I've not made anything that astounding compared to others on here but it's been good learning something new and trying that out and i'm going to learn more and tweak stuff as i go on.
If there are any newbies, like me, wanting to get creative you should give it a go, if so then look under the MY tab and find SKINS then go in there and click on CREATE A SKIN. Maybe you already have and want to leave some advice on here for others (and me)?
I do recommend using a HTML color picker to choose your colors precisely, or find a table of colours and use the correct words for them, as you'll have a larger pool of colours to work with that may look better. But if you don't even want to do that you could just choose any regular colour you can think of and type that in as it'll be likely to work.
Use google to find help with what you want to do, say you want to create a fancy border well you can google how to do those. You might even find a good webschool that has loads of info on how to make a wide variety of things and have fun doing just that.
Also, if you're going to use gifs or jpgs you'll need to find a decent image host, imgur is a good one as they never delete your pics and the site never seems to go down either.
Use c&p (copy and paste) to save time on repeatedly typing out the same code for any effects that will be the same in each section that you need to edit. Also use ctrl+f to check your code: say there is an image in the wrong place or a color is not right and you want to change it then look for it that way instead of scrolling through everything.
If you see something you like on someone elses page and want to use it you can view source to see how they did it or for a more precise result you can inspect element, or for image sizes you can view image info. These should be under right click on your mouse/track pad.
Just wanted to blog about it and hear others experiences as well if they'd like to share them.
