The Guide
For this guide, we will say that we are setting up Aquabook. You do it as follows:


 * 1) Go to MediaWiki:Aquabook.css and copy all of the coding from there.
 * 2) Make a user subpage entitled monobook.css. To do this, go to your user page, and then add /monobook.css to the address. Therefore, it should be User:YOURUSERNAME/monobook.css.
 * 3) Once you reach that page, paste the code into it.
 * 4) Once done, click save page.
 * 5) Your changes will not show up immediately; Mozilla / Firefox / Safari: hold down Shift while clicking Reload, or press Ctrl-Shift-R (Cmd-Shift-R on Apple Mac); IE: hold Ctrl while clicking Refresh, or press Ctrl-F5; Konqueror:: simply click the Reload button, or press F5; Opera users may need to completely clear their cache in Tools→Preferences. Once this is done, your new skin should appear.

If you have any issues, please contact User:Lost Soul. Thank you.
