Getting New Skins in Minecraft

I've always wanted a new skin, because Steve just isn't cutting it for me... so where can i create/get new skin?

Once you have made a skin, save it as a .png file to your desktop. Then go onto minecraft.net, log in, go the the Profile section, scroll down a bit and then upload your skin to use.

I will give you a link to a place for a new skin. I will post it down below. Once you chose a skin, you will want to click "Upload to Minecraft.net". This will have you either log into minecraft.net or it will take you right into your minecraft profile if you are currently already logged in. It will give you a prompt asking if you want to change your skin, you click "Change Skin". If you have minecraft open, you will want to close it down COMPLETELY and then re-open it. Once you do that BAM, you got your new skin :D Here is the link to where I get MY skins from. It is such a wide variety of skins.

Problems in Minecraft

Well yesterday I wanted to play minecraft so I got it and this little message popped up when I opened up the game

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode. This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

What is the best program to build textures aka texture packs?

Lots of people have asked "what is the best program to build textures?".

Like as a texture pack? Probably PhotoShop.

You can also use Gimp if you want to go for free
