Developing a Skin: What's the preferred method for hosting?

Post by brianmoses »

I've been using Rainmeter for a couple months so far and really like it.

After a couple months of use, I realized that I wanted a skin to display some of my web metrics from out of Piwik but I couldn't find one. Thankfully, Rainmeter's easy enough for big dope like myself to make one.

Now that I've made it, I want to make it usable for anyone else and toss it out on the internet somewhere. I was wondering what the best place to put it would be. I assume that GitHub's probably the best, but figured I'd ask if there was something better. I'm more than happy to host it on my own blog, but I'd rather stick it out somewhere the community can get better use from it.

I had another question too, I'm not creative at all so I wound up using one of the skins from illustro as a starting off point. What's the best way to give credit to the original author?

Probably the most popular place to host skins is deviantART.
