Hi this is Jan, again, i was wondering if it was possible for you to put up a small tutorial something simple , as I have a simple mind, LOL if
you could show me how you put up the links in the sidebar for me. I have added a board, and wanted to add it to that, but dont know how. I am no good at HTML
but I want to learn.

Hi Jan, Look in the Custom header of the skin we added (the default) for this:
Look at the first link that I colored. That is just a link to one of your forums. If you go to the front page of your board and click on the "Come On In To Visit", when the forum opens, up in the address bar you will see the url (the red) that I used in your sidebar. You would add any new links in the same fashion. First this: <a href=" , then your url, then this: ">, next your text: Come On Into Visit, and finally this: </a>. The <br> on the end is just to make sure the next link goes on a new line.

Ok, Here is an excerpt from a tute I made for an msn style skin. It shows you how to find the links.
Excerpted from this thread: MSN Style Main Page : What you need to do before you make your new skin is gather some data from your board. You will need the Category names, the Forum names and the Forum links. In the Example below, 'Welcome' is the first Category name, 'Board Rules' is the first forum name, and the link to that first forum is: http://msnstyle.yuku.com/forums/66. You find the links by hovering over the Forum names with your mouse. The url will appear down at the bottom of your page in the task bar as shown in the image below.
Or you can actually click that first Forum link and when the new page opens (forum page), you will see the Forum link up in the Address bar as shown below.
So what you need to do is collect that data for each forum you have and save it to Notepad so you can use it later to add to your new skin. Each forum will have the same url except for the number at the end. For this board the url is: http://msnstyle.yuku.com/forums/ for your own board it would be the same except with your boardname instead of 'msnstyle'. Here is the list for this boards forums:
