Dublin Core is not mandatory, but many places will expect to find at  
least a Description method on your content object. Whether you put  
text into the description is your choice.


Or are you talking about the content type objects in the types tool?  
You don't have to fill it in, but some UI elements will become more  
user friendly if a description can be shown.

aaagh! Simple error: the skin was not in the list of skins to be viewed.

You may need to check its "globally_addable" property (the type
object's) and verify that the container into which you would like to add
an instance does not have a type-based restriction on adding (e.g., the

I would recommend doing this as follows:

  - Once everything works, visit the 'portal_setup' tool and create

Depends.  If your type has any other customizations (e.g., workflows,
caching policies, metadata constraints, etc.) then you need to tweak the
releavant tools, as well.

I would recommend doing this as follows:

  - Start from a "clean" site, created via "Configured CMF Site" (so
that it uses the GenericSetup tool and the "baseline" profile).

  - Add your type information, skins, etc. and test.

  - Once everything works, visit the 'portal_setup' tool and create
