    Actually, the third link he posted is basically a step-by-step explanation that guides you through the whole process.
    That is pretty much what you are looking for.

    Can you send all your skin files, so we can see what you are doing wrong? Would be faster than guessing :)

    Yes, because that's what you wrote on that side.
    Here's your image rotated by 180°


    The bottom part is what you see here:


    You need to horizontally flip that text :p

    We recommend using Notepad++ but normal notepad works too, just you wouldn't get as many features.

    I don't know... I think it is meant to be the value of the object, but go ahead and put what you want.
