It sure would be nice if there were a Skinning for Dummies book out there.

Only 53yrs old, you do know that adult supervision is required!! 
Welcome to the site tonzer always nice to meet new faces.
Hope you have a good sense of humor, it helps when things don't work right. Just remember that you can always come to the forums for help, even if you've fallen down and can't get up!

I love it (but am somewhat nervous) when people older than I say things like "peeps".

Welcome to the community, tonzer My suggestion is to try picking apart some of the skins others have created to see how they work and better understand the flow of things.
Of course if you run into any snags and have any questions, feel free to post
