Skinning a site using Dreamweaver

©

©®

Just saw on the net at someone's site that you can skin the site.
Can anyone please recommend a tutorial on how to do it and what the
minimum requirements are for it? I would like to allow my user to be
able to change the colour scheme and perhaps the logo/pic that is on
each page.
My site is simple html and so am not sure if I have PHP "access" (not
sure of the terminology there!)
Any help appreciated.

just use different css files. a bit of server side scripting to change
between them. easy peasy.

you could use client side scripting but that wouldn't be very smart or
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" ...> but its only supported by modern
browsers and the implementation is stupid (styles not retained between
pages if still available)
I would like to allow my user to be able to change the colour scheme
and perhaps the logo/pic that is on each page.

simple demo that just changes the background color:

you'll need server side support. if your host doesn't supply what you
need move hosts.
