I just unzipped the package and put in in the same folder my other skins are in. Selected the skin in the admin panel Reloaded and *poof*. I simply get a white page now. I can't even set it back now.
You
can set it back tho... just hit yoursite.com/admin.php - go to preferences, change the theme back to default or whatever & viola, ur site still exists.

While i am here, i did check out other members XOOPS site and i notice i get a blank page for a few seconds, and the panel at the botton of IE says "Done". Then suddenly it loads the correct page.
I've noticed that too on some heavier XOOPS sites, often on this one for some reason. I believe its just a matter of the browser processing the page, same as with any website.

Next how can i backup my site. I wouldn't want to have a complete website go *poof* because i made a mistake and need to redo all the work.
Search the module repository for the "backup" module, it works nicely for this task. I've had to start from scratch a zillion times for lack of keeping regular backups, this module helps remind you with its 'backup' block.

Is there a way to make the URL look like 'www.mysite.com/index.html' instead of 'www.mysite.com/mudules/news'?
In preferences, set "Module for your start page" to none, then populate your front page with block content. You wont have yoursite.com/index.html, instead you'll have yoursite.com/index.php. Works nicely.

Sorry for all the questions. I'm really deciding if i want to go with the software or not before i wrestle myself through all the documentation.
As far as these things go, XOOPS is one of the best free content solutions out there - however, its not worth much if you don't know what to do with it. Suffer thru the documentation, it's worth it ;)
Hope this helps :)
