Ningja skin update
Ning To Jamroom
Clay, this all confused me for a couple of months as well.
----you will be using your own custom skin, set as the activated one, from day to day, and make all your customizations on it. (NOT on your basic Ningja skin).
Then when a ningja skin update gets put out, you update your Ningja skin. After that, go into your CUSTOM skin and use the Compare templates function to look over all the templates that show a difference between your custom skin and the (updated) Ningja skin. You';ll see the same ones over and over, but new ones will pop up when you update Ningja. Look over all the highlighted differences and copy paste any new ones from the updated Ningja skin that you want to incorporate into yuor custom skin.
Dont keep customizing your Ningja skin- only keep 'updating' it. Use your CUSTOM skin to be activated and run your site on, and make your skin modifications to IT- not to the Ningja skin.
