Frugal Blogger Skin Pack: 12 Skins, 6 Colors and 2 New Widgets
Even though the Frugal WordPress Theme is used for all kinds of website projects from business sites to sales pages to any number of purposes, at its core it’s a rock solid blogging platform. And to reflect this fact (as well as provide an awesome value to those Frugal users who want more Skins to play with) we designed and developed this all new Blogger Skin Pack.
To start it off we created a super clean, professional looking Skin design that would perfectly promote any content that was put on it’s pages. Then we used this fixed design and created a fluid version to offer the user two different layouts to choose from. After this we picked out 6 different colors to work with and created a total of 12 unique Skins for this awesome Skin Pack!
Finally, keeping with this Blogging Theme, we created two new Widgets and placed them in a plugin folder for easy installation (on a Frugal powered site or any other WordPress website).
One of the Widgets is an Author Profile Widget. What this does is provide you with a super easy way to display any author in a Widget area, showing their Gravatar, creating a Bio and even displaying a “Read more” link to take visitors to a more in-depth author page. The other Widget is a Banner Ad Widget that provides a simple, easy to use tool for displaying 125×125 Banner Ads in your sidebar, spacing them out perfectly. It also provides an option to display an “Advertise Here” banner, linked to whichever ad page you like (on or off your site) and even an option to choose whether or not it opens in a new window.
The idea behind including these bonus Widgets was to provide even more value to the blogger looking for that perfect Skin to help take their blog to the next level. And even if you’re not a blogger this Skin pack is perfect for just about any website in need of a clean, professional design.
So be sure to check out the Frugal Blogger Skin Pack Page as well as the Frugal Blogger Skin Demo Page and start mentally placing your blog content in it’s pages to see which color and layout is right for you.

Hello – Can you tell me what skin is best for videos. I would like to integrate more video into my site and would like to know which skin is best suited for this so that I can have an easy to navigate user experience of finding video. Thanks – BIll
Hey Bill,
Because the Skins are just pre-customized Frugal option sets (as well as some custom images, depending on the Skin) you are not gaining or losing any functionality with Frugal when installing any of them. Some may be styled better for videos, but that’s more of a preference thing.
With Frugal you have many different Widget areas which you can use to feature videos. So I would say it’s more a matter of picking the Skin that you like best and then using the built-in Frugal Widget areas, regardless of the Skin, to feature your videos.
