ok i am tired of seeing threads asking very commonly asked questions.
so let's end it all.
i shall compile everything (well almost) here.
here goes :

1. How do I install my blogskin on to my blog? It just gives me some could not be parsed, XML error."

ok, to solve this,
look down from the huge input box where you tried putting your code into.
and click onto the "Revert to Classic Template" link very close to it.
hope this solves it.

2. How do i download blogskins?

On the page of the skin, click the button of your choice (for whatever you use)
either,
"blogger main"
"xanga"
or
"movable type"


Image from lix

after awhile, your download should be completed, edit the code by putting in your profile things or what-nots,
and there you have it,
a nice blogskin for your blog!

3. How do i style my blogskins profile page?

Well, this one requires minimal knowledge.
#1
#2
#3
view each and everyone of those links.
and don't forget to NOT leave a line between each line for your css code.
paste this code into your "about me" section

more experienced people with css, and some html

just view source,
figure out all the components with the class=WHATEVER CLASS tags in the [div] tags
and then view here for the default attributes for the various parts of your profile page.
NOTE : figure out which of the tags declarations are actually for your profile page.
or you might mess something up.

4. How do i have the comments section in my blog?
if your blogskins does not have the comments part added for your blog,
add the following code,
to enable comments.
[BlogItemCommentsEnabled]
[a href="[$BlogItemCommentCreate$]"
[$BlogItemCommentFormOnClick$]]
[$BlogItemCommentCount$] comments[/a]
[/BlogItemCommentsEnabled]

replace the "[" or "]" brackets with the angled brackets.
you may want to add this just before the [/blogger]
part of your blogskins code, to allow comments after every post.

Where can i get nice fonts / brushes /pictures ?
well, there are many sources.

Fonts :
Dafont
Typenow

Brushes :
Moargh.de
Miss M
Deviantart
Swimchick
Aethereality
Brusheezy
free4photoshop
brushesdownload
psbrushes
Project-gimpbc GIMP brushes

Pictures :
Deviantart
sxc.hu

Don't forget to credit the sources and ask for permission from deviantart users.

5. How do i make i screenshot?
Ok, two methods for different computers.
first mtd :
ctrl + prt sc

second mtd :
fn + prt sc

after doing that, open paint or some photo editting software and paste it in.
then save it.
and upload it :D
any other mtds, please tell me :D

there you go, some help and questions answered here,
if there are any other common or frequently asked questions, please do tell me and i may add them here.

uhm, i dont know where to create them, but i think most ppl around here use a html/css editing software.
you could use coffeecup html editor, or pagebreeze, or dreamweaver or even notepad.
you upload your skins here :D

pm me please

janlyn
find the place in the codings where the profile goes,
this requires some searching, and add it.
and for links, do this :
(change the square brackets to the sharp brackets)
[a href="http://link.com/"]LINK123[/a]
for link.com
you can change this to the address of the link you wanna link to.
for LINK123
you an change this to your link's name,
like msn, or wikipedia, or shawn, jack, mary, whatever.

hope this helps.

  to upload a skin,
click the "contriute" button somewhere on the top,
in "name" section, put the name of your skin,
in the "description" section, put a description of your skin.
in the "data" section, put in the code for your skin.
in the "type" section, select the type of skin you're submitting (blogger main, xanga)
leave the allow tags alone.
in the "tags" section, put in the keywords of your skin
in the "screenshot" section, you can put in your own SS, or let blogskins do it for you.
after all that is done, click preview.
if your skin turns out the way it should, click, "yes, submit it!"

there you go :D

XML error message: White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

I keep getting this error when I try to add the skin to my blog. I tried 2 different skins as well...any idea what I'm doing wrong?
