Well, I saw a few sites that had swappable CSS files where the user selects with a button and it changes the layout, colors, text, or whatever the coder decides using stylesheets. So, I messed around with some code and applied that to my blog here. I didn’t really like the initial color palette I had originally selected so I thought, why not just have multiple palettes and the user can select the one they want. The script also installs a cookie so that every time the user returns it loads their preferred stylesheet. I prefer #1 and #3….I know on some of them the links are hard to see but deal with it…..its for the sake of art, sheesh.

I would like to thank my girlfriend and two good friends for choosing their own personal color schemes, numbers 3-5. Number 2 was the original color scheme and number 1 was my personal choice. I might do 2 more….maybe have my niece select a palette….

The use of being able to swap CSS files is unbelievably cool. You could have the width or height resize, font resizing, menu’s that swap colors, swapping background images, anything coded into your CSS could be swapped with another CSS. I know this isn’t much of a new thing…..but its still cool!

It was a fun project and I am very happy with the results, enjoy!

ohh, and P.S. that is a background image to the right, not a menu.
