I already got it working...check it out! I renamed the section to
examples, because really, we should accept snapshots of our usage that
are not only screenshots, right?

Would you take on figuring this task out please?

Yes...

Cool, I went ahead and made a stylesheet called openclipart.

I added you as an admin and editor.

The stylesheets are in cchost/cctemplates/skin-openclipart.*

You can create another set, and select them in your local setup of
cchost and once they are ready turn them on in the live setup:

http://openclipart.org/cchost/?ccm=/media/admin/settings

Also, once we move to where cchost is at our root installation, then I
can turn on pretty URLs so that we don't have this ?ccm= business.

Rock,
Jon
