i tried searching high and low before i asked this question, but couldn't find an answer. i guess this falls into the 'how do i" and evoSkins/template categories.

anyway, i am trying to add a skin to the multiblog feature. my ultimate goal is to add a moblog, but i think i've found that solution.

i added the skin to the multiblog, and it looks like this:
http://www.muttering.net/multiblogs.php

i edited the main.php page for the stockholm skin by adding the section where it says "START OF BLOG B" right between the linkblog and the archives sections. something didn't work though. i'm still very new to php and css, so either there's something i can't see or i'm doing something completely wrong. is there any help for me?

thanks!

Under that are some headers with clickable plus signs (+) ..

i think that helps the previous poster, but not my initial question. thanks, though!

You can't really skin the multiblog or summary page. You need to edit the specific php file to point to a stylesheet that makes it look the way you want. You could point it to the stylesheet for a specific skin, but then you need to make sure that all the classes in the php are defined in the css (or the other way around). I'm not sure which is easier or better. I went with pointing to my default skin's css then beating summary severely with a keyboard until it looked like the rest of the blog. Then I deleted the blog :roll:

Hope that helps.

Again I read after I write. You can't turn a skin into a multiblog or summary - you have to turn the multiblog or summary into something that looks like it's been skinned. Does that make enough sense to run with?

yeah i think that makes sense. i'll have to play with it, but i've got a better direction now. thanks!
