 # minimal-ao3
 A light minimal responsive theme for Archiveofourown.org
+
+
+This is a skin for the website Archiveofourown.org made by Electricalice.tumblr.com (electricalice on ao3 as well)
+
+Feel free to use it as base for your own skins, but please credit me!
+The code was adapted from The Blues skin by AO3, which in turn was adapted from 'colour flip combos' by lim @ ao3 and "Medium Blues" by Arduinna @ AO3
+
+I do realize it's a very messy code and it might eb a nightmare to edit, I'm so sorry.
+I also just checked compatibility on chrome and safari. Not sure about other browsers.
+
+
+## To add a skin to your AO3 account 
+
+* Make sure you're logged in your account on AO3
+* go to *my dashboard* and then click on *Skins* (n the menu' on the right)
+* click on the button *create new skin*
+* Make sure Type is *Site Skin*
+* Add a Title to your skin
+* **Select and Copy ALL the code you'll find in the style.css file you'll find in this repository**
+* Paste the code *in the field 'CSS'*
+* click **SUBMIT**
+* scroll to the bottom on the page and click on "USE" 
+
+### Now you have a new skin! It is now linked to your account, so every time you log into ao3 from whatever device you'll have it already set!
+
+
+
