Something I have always loved on other people’s websites, but never had the time to do on my own, is a style sheet switcher. I love being able to customise the colour scheme of the site I am viewing, and I think it gives it a personal touch. It is especially useful for looking back at old designs to see how a website has progressed.

With that in mind, I have been using several tutorials to create a simple colour changer for davidappleyard.org.uk, with fairly good results. You can now change the colour scheme on my site by clicking one of the link in the top right hand of this page. At the moment, the only colours available are blue and green. I’m sure that this will expand over the next few days.

For those interested, the tutorial(s) I used were:

I’ve now also written my own tutorial on how to do this, specifically for WordPress:
