I am very happy to announce that the first ever commercially available Premium Template, designed by Qiming Weng, has been released on ThemeForest.net.

One of the most common questions we are asked is how to convert existing or stock HTML templates to work with
SkyBlueCanvas. In this article I will guide you, step-by-step, through the process of adapting
any existing skin to work with SkyBlueCanvas. This process, once you understand the fundamentals,
usually takes about an hour – sometimes even less. In fact, the skin we will use in this tutorial
took only 30 minutes.

If you have used an earlier release of SkyBlueCanvas and are now upgrading to v1.1 RC1, you have probably noticed that the skins are a bit different. Normally, I would not want to make a change with as much impact on existing users as this one, but the change was really necessary.

This article will explain the underlying concepts of the new skin format and the API hooks at your disposal. For users of older versions of SkyBlueCanvas, your existing skins will still work. There are some minor caveats to this that I will explain later on.
