Here's a really good guide for making a b2evolution skin from an existing layout:

http://b2evolution.net/man/2005/06/18/make_a_skin_based_on_my_proper_layout

You can probably do this yourself. If you run into problems, post questions here. If all else fails and you really need someone else to do it for you, then PM me.

Hey Thanks for the link to that tutorial! Was awesome!

I'm stuck in one spot though... The comment text is a bit bigger than the normal text and the comment headers are too big... basically doesn't match...

you can see what I mean:

where do I change those params?

Open up your stylesheet (custom.css) and find this code:

.bSmallPrint
{
	clear: both;
	color: #999;
	font-size: 0.7em;
	margin: 1ex 0 2ex 0;
}

You should be able to tweak it to your tastes.

I really like the skin. You should consider sumbitting it to the [url=http://skins.b2evolution.net/]skins repository[/url].

actually changing the values in there doesn't work. I had already toyed with that section. (when i copied it from the custom.css from the "custom" skin that came with the installation, it had percentages in there for fonts whereas I changed it to the 0.7em to match the rest of the css from the template.

thanks for the compliment, but i owe the layout to www.oswd.org

and don't gimme any flack for "creating" websites for people but only using templates... i only do it for friends and people i know pretty much lol

but it LOOKS official.... :-D

You won't get any flack from me. I've ported three templates from oswd.org to b2evolution skins. I've asked for permission first and the designers have been more than happy to allow it. Check out Uneven, Plain and Reflection on skins.b2evolution.net. So, if you can get permission to submit them and you've already done most of the work, then there's no good reason not to submit it.

I changed it to this in the Firefox Web Developer's toolbar (which allows real-time css editing), and it seems to match pretty well to me.

.bSmallPrint
{
	clear: both;
	color: #444;
	font-size: 65%;
	margin: 1ex 0 2ex 0;
}

But when you edit the file http://betadoodle.com/blog/skins/Beta_Skin/custom.css it's not affecting how it looks at all?

well still doesn't quite work for me. I guess I'll just leave it.

I'll have to go track down the creator of the template and ask if I should port it.
