THE JCINK SKINATHON RETURNS: 2 JCINK 2 SKINATHON
This is an introductory post. For those who don’t know what the Skinathon is, this post will explain the details and how to participate. The Skinathon itself will not start until 1 July, 2020, but all participants are welcome to practice beforehand.
Join the Jcink Creators’ Corner, a Discord server originally built to support Skinathon members, and now a thriving content and coding-creator support community.
Follow this blog and start posting in the Jcink Skinathon tag with your skin elements on the first week.
We’ll also have an intro post set up for participants who’d like to introduce themselves to one another!
The Skinathon will start on 1 July and last for four weeks, until 29 July, 2020.
Post your skin elements in the Jcink Skinathon tag on a weekly basis, following the schedule outline(s) below.
It’s absolutely fine if you miss making a creation in a particular week; just catch up the next week! This is meant to be a fun challenge.
It’s also fine to edit any previous week’s skin elements as you go along. Skinning is a constant creative process.
Obviously, everyone codes in a different manner and at a different pace. There’s no fixed order to the way you need to create these. However, each of these skin elements should be created one week at a time.
So, for example, if you skin your forum rows and topic rows first, then stats row, then post rows, that’s absolutely fine. Someone else might start with the header/sidebar, then miniprofile, then profile row. “Miscellanea” details fixing up all the other tidbits of the skin (the UCP, for example), along with templates.
Header, side/topbar, stats — 1 week
Forum row, topic row, member list — 1 week
Post row, mini profile, profile row — 1 week
Miscellanea (that dreaded .row4 shit, skin bugs, etc) and any templates (1 thread, 1 comm, 1 you choose!) — 1 week
Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to skinning with all of you!
