This may work but is not recommended.

To pick up the farblogpost webskins make sure you:
 - reinitialise the application properly (eg. ?updateapp=1)
 - have the plugin list in your ../www/farcryconstructor.cfm in the
right order ie. farcryblog must be loaded before skins

Webskins are loaded in the following order:
 - core
 - the plugin list
 - your project

If you have identical webskins, then the last webskin to be loaded is
the one used.  This is pretty cool, and i think unique amongst
frameworks.  It means you can have a plugin like farcryblog just work,
then override it with another plugin such as a "skin" and then in turn
override that in your project (the ultimate arbitrator of what happens
in your application instance).

Good catch!  This is definitely not the intended behaviour.  Your
correction is spot on.

Thanks for the kind words.  It's somewhat of a "best kept secret" in
the CF community ;)  We're going to make an effort in coming months to
spread the FarCry message.
