    Yo Slice, Seems like you got it rockin'!

    Join & sign in was a little bumpy, got a 404 on the "login sucess" page, then it worked okay.

    So how was the skinning?  do you just need a css based layout, then you can plug in the functionality?

    Yeah ... funny got it working. I've now got most of the old site functionality put back in - just a few more files to wire up ... plus it would be good to get all the iComic stuff on here, as YahooGroups is very prone to spam and you're signing up with The Man, which is never a good idea.

    Skinning CS wasn't actually as bad as I thought. There's a lot of .ascx files (ASP.NET user controls) to go through and tweak, but at least a lot of the styling is done "properly" through CSS. They were also considerate enough to prefix every CSS class with "File" or "Blog" or "Common" so you know which CSS file it came from (common.css etc.)

    As it turned out, almost the hardest thing was getting it all up and running again on GoDaddy once I'd fixed it all locally. It was a bit touch-and-go there for a couple of days Indifferent
