Template sources

Most skins came from http://www.styleshout.com/, with the exception of the gh_default skin, which was created with GitHub's automatic page generator.

TBD

Templatized skins
- gh_default
- sparrow
- keepitsimple
Still need to be templatized
- pageone
- freshpick
After templatizing a skin, remove its branch.

All skins, including the ones that have been templatized, have a large amount of boilerplate/lorem text that needs to be swapped out for real text.

Dump website with a different skin

Edit make.pl -- uncomment the $skin = 'SKIN_YOU_WANT'; and be sure the other $skin assignments are commented. Then run make.pl. All current .html files will be replaced by files using that skin.

Set up a new skin

- Name it.
    - For consistency, go with one word, all lc

- mkdir tmpl/NAME
- mkdir skins/NAME

- Create or download your template from wherever.  Put it into tmpl/NAME/
- Move all of the media (images, css, js, etc) into skins/NAME/
    - You're usually going to be moving a whole directory.
      mv images/ ../../skins/NAME/
      mv css/ ../../skins/NAME/
      etc
- Make sure the template-specific variables in make.pl include an 'inc' 
  key, which must be set to "skins/NAME/"
    - No slash at the beginning, must have slash at the end.
    - All links to media files within your new template set must link to 
      here.  eg:
        - <img src="skins/NAME/images/foo.jpg">
        - <link rel="stylesheet" href="skins/NAME/css/default.css">
        - <script src="skins/NAME/js/script.js"></script>

- Any image links in data ($vars in make.pl) should NOT include the 
  "skins/NAME/" prefix.  Let the templates add those.
