I guess this is the place to learn.  I built my first skin now and I cannot get it to load.  It's a very simple starter skin I'm doing for a customer and I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going wrong.  I am getting a solpartmenunavigation provider error when trying to upload the thing.  I downloaded a couple of VERY simple examples and still don't see what I've done wrong.  Could someone take a glance at this code for me?  I've been at this for about 12 hours trying to get my first skin uploaded.

The error/exception happens around the menu - I must have missed something, yet when I look at the examples before me I cannot see it.  I first tried to make my skin based on the dnn blue, but as you can see, this project has a ton of css behind it so the dnn blue that I see in the tutorials (starter reference) is not going to work.  If I can just get this to upload, I can keep tweaking it until I get it right.
 

I'm kind of falling way behind schedule here - shoot!

I have the following files in a zipped folder called: AP_3PaneSkin with a folder inside named the same and containing the following files

1 img file, 6 css files (including skin.css) and the files you see below:  I tried using the[MENU] token and switched to the [SOLPARTMENU] token thinking mayb that was my problem - still getting the same error/exception (which I'm no good at reading).

Please help me get this thing to the point where I can actually upload it as my first skin project.

Thanks ahead!

Dan (sorry for writing a book here)

Ok, I got it loaded, set [SOLPARTMENU] back to [MENU] and found out I was not supposed to zip the folder also that the skin was in.  The skin was actually uploading, but was not visible

I've at least got a start now
