You are welcome to mail them to me, preferably in a separate zip file
per skin. I can ftp them all up and activate them also for the
BoltWire siite.

If you want to upload them to the server directly, however, you can go
to a page like http://www.boltwire.com/index.php?p=solutions.skins.aquatic
and add &reload=true to the url.  That will add a little ^ beside the
zip link. If you click on that, it should take you to an upload form
that will allow you to overwrite the existing skin. I will still have
to install them on the server, but they will be available to others
immediately for download.

Also, it would be a really nice idea if we credited the skins to their
original sources, as it looks like you have already done this for some
of them. A few are BoltWire originals. But we need to do a better job
properly citing sources and licenses. I seem to recall all of these
skins were public domain, but I may be mistaken on some. I need to do
the same thing on the plugins.

Thank you again many times over. This was a real need for us on
BoltWire. If you care to, here's another thing I'd like to ask. Would
it be possible you could write up a brief tutorial, perhaps at
docs.extend.skins, with some basic step by step instructions for how
to transform a skin you pick up some place like
http://www.opendesigns.org and convert it to BoltWire. There's only a
few basic steps, but it would really help people, and could quickly
boost our skin count.  Throw up something simple even (notes) and we
could gradually fill in the blanks.

Really excited. Can't wait to get these all installed on BoltWire.

Cheers,
Dan

P.S. I'll try and propose some solution for the site page problem.
I've been thinking, another solution might be to use anchors on the
page so while long, you can still get to where you want pretty quick.
We'll do something before 3.xx so we won't need the special site.side
pages in the skins.
