Ok thanks. In the skin I've put out, there's an about page which has dynamic content. I have the user manage that using an about.inc file within the skins folder that gets included at run time.
I've advised them to create this file - because if I include it with install.py, it gets overwritten. I guess this is a good litmus test to see who reads the instructions.
