Skin Hosting, Github, and More

[SilverAzide]

Some additional tips...

Each repo in GitHub can have a Wiki. This is pretty much separate from your Rainmeter project source, and uses files written in the same markdown (.md) language that your repo's README.md file uses. You create a Home.md (the main wiki home page), along with a series of additional pages that may or may not be hyperlinked together using relative links. GitHub will automatically create a table of contents sidebar for you, which is just a sorted list of your markdown pages.

What's so great about this? Well, you can pretty much create a fully working on-line help system that you can link to in your Rainmeter skins. Your wiki pages will have URLs, and you can even reference sub-headings. For example, say you have a weather skin that your users will need to configure for their location. You could create a link in your skin to a wiki topic.

Click the little "?" doodad and your user will jump right to the wiki topic. This could be invaluable for the inevitable "how do I configure HWiNFO?" questions that authors of HWiNFO-based skins always get, or "Why did my monitoring skin stop working?"...

Just thought if it as another place to share what you've recently made, some more exposure (am just poking fun, nothing serious).
