Okay - great. So to clarify for myself and others in the same boat:
1. Take backup of website
2. Upload backup to sub-domain
3. Password protect sub-domain for security(?)
4. Update relevant settings in config.php ($xcart_http(s)_host)
5. Site should run as normal in sub-directory
6. Make all changes to the skin1 template file
7. Overwrite existing skin1 directory with new, modified skin1 directory
7. Close shop
8. Rename exisiting skin1 directory to skin1_old
6. Upload new skin1 directory
10. Open shop
Have I missed anything?
Thanks,
