Several months ago, Wikia released a new site skin called Monaco. The new skin features tools which make it much easier for visitors to find content and edit it. You can read all about Monaco [[w:Wikia's New Style|here]]. As you can read on that page, while you will still be able to select Monobook (this wiki's current default skin) as the skin you personally use to view the site (via [[Special:Preferences]]), we are no longer able to support Monobook as a default skin for anonymous visitors. So, we need to change the default skin to Monaco.

There are a number of pre-built themes for Monaco. Check out how the homepage looks in [http://candh.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=monaco&usetheme=sapphire Sapphire], [http://candh.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=monaco&usetheme=jade Jade], [http://candh.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=monaco&usetheme=slate Slate], [http://candh.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=monaco&usetheme=smoke Smoke], [http://candh.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=monaco&usetheme=beach Beach], and [http://candh.wikia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=monaco&usetheme=brick Brick], and let me know which one you like best. In addition to those pre-built themes, you can build your own custom themes as well. Check out the custom themes on the [[w:c:shaiya|Shaiya Wiki]] and the [[w:c:diablo|Diablo Wiki]]. You can learn about customizing the theme, menus and other aspects of Monaco [[w:c:help:Help:Customizing_Monaco|here]].

Take a look at that information, and let me know which theme you think might work best. We need to change the skin by Friday, October 31st, so I am here to make that transition as easy as possible. Let me know if you have any questions, or if I can help in any way.

I created a [[Template:Book box|book box]] (a slightly tweaked version of the [[Template:Character box|character box]]) for [[Books|books]]. It works ''exactly'' like the character box, except that the first and last dates now apply to the first and last strips in the mentioned book. Enjoy.

I made a "favorite strip" box. Here is how to use it. First, type in "<nowiki>{{User:Brovie/Box:Favestrip</nowiki>" and then type in "<nowiki> | favestrip=(name of picture without "Image:" prefix)}}</nowiki>" i.e. "<nowiki>{{User:Brovie/Box:Favestrip | favestrip=C&H Trains, Planes, 'n' Tectonic Plates.jpg}}</nowiki>" makes

Here's how I made it ''{{userbox | border=#339933 | mainbkgd=#CCFFCC | codebkgd=#CCFFCC | codecolor=#FFFFFF | code=[[Image:Transmogrifier.png|43px]] | msg=This user made a '''[[Transmogrifier|Transmogrifier]]'''.}}''
