Looks nice, but IMO needs more "horizontal balance" lol
i.e. put some stuff on the right side.

I tried opening the xml in IE, and it gave me a bunch of errors (IE doesn't like unquoted arguments, as discussed in this Thread)

So I tried to fix it with my program (check the thread for download link)

Here's what it gives me:

   <Resource Type="Font Name=”Orange_LET_8”" >

Apparently it doesn't recognize the space after Font, and puts a quote in at the end (probably an error while copying and pasting).  Also, the quotes around the font name are a little funky; ” as opposed to " .  That happens sometimes when pasting from the skinning document.  Fix that and it should work fine.

Do you run/operate Xetasoft.com.

I would love to have a place for someone else to host the files on my website http://bohlco.com/xbox
as I will be taking it down this week...

Please let me know... as I can easily burn a DVD for you and mail it to you so you can add the files there...
I would love to keep the site up.. but it is just not an option...
Thank you,

YourWishIsMine

Yea, I'm the admin at XetaSoft. PM me with a list of what you have/want to host and I'll see if I can host it.
