wc skin browser note!

noticed this, thought it was a glitch, but realized my error later!

October 10, 2005 5:50:13 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
screenshot (big): Link
screenshot (reduced): Link

{original text} so i noticed something strange as i used the wincustomize skin browser for the first time. when i clicked in the "skins & themes" section, and then selected the windowblinds library, 10-20 of the first captures i got where of a skinned notepad app... mind you, it's just a glitch the way i see it, lower you do see real windowblinds skins. just thought i'd point this out, as i really do not know where to mention it.
{/end original text} note, edited: had to laugh. i was convinced that it was a case of wrong thumbnails showing in the wrong section... and then i realized, this just may be what screenshots for wb looked like in the begining! i mean, it's evolved sooooo much in so little time if you think about it! darn!
{on with the original text} questions for the more experienced users - those that have taken the time to get to know the site! - is there any link anywhere to an article or something that can explain the whole system to me? for example, i just discovered the "stats" section (for those who didn't know about this section, you have to create your own page first if i'm not mistaking, and then load it - for example: iseekserendipity.wincustomize.com - and then click on the stats tab) i'd love for someone to detail it to me. i get the basic idea, but for example, when it speaks of "# Sites Referring to Articles (Rank):" does it mean others linking to potential articles of mine or my linking to others' articles? forgive me for my dumbness, this is new to me! i use to be much more limited in internet time, so it was >find skins > download > disconnect

I haven't seen anything that would help you find your way around. Cornelia had some good newbie tutorials but I don't think she got into site navigation. Besides, exploring is part of the fun.

All you need is to update the skins database ... they ARE WindowBlinds skins .... but a bit older (WB 1.0 or so) ... Just feel how much changes have come through in these years ...

Start WC-Browser ... click on themes section (as you have already done) ... and give it time to update it's self ...

Hi Uwase...... way back in 2001, I made a wallpaper called "Serendipity". You can see it here: http://boxxi.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=1953&LibID=8&comments=1 

So, now you can change your name to ifoundserendipity. lol. Thank you for your kind comments on my work, they are appreciated.

If you need any help with the site, just drop me a mail at boxxi@wincustomize.com and I will answer any questions or problems you have.

Skins for such proggies as Windowblinds, WinAMP and Litestep have been around for a very long time...and have evolved over the years...so every now and then you'll find something ancient [and quaint]...
