So I can't look at the front page in Goo. This makes me sad cause I can't stand Pliny (I think that's what they're calling it, right) Unfortunately there are links on the front page that I can't seem to find anywhere else. Like the link to Create. All the links you go to from the Front Page come up in Pliny as well.
When I search for Create in any skin, Create doesn't even come up! I get "Your search returned no results, please try to widen it". The top result is "Create Your Own Duct Tape Bag".
I can see that where Goo does work that it is falling apart and TPTB aren't fixing it. This too makes me sad. I think sometimes that I might as well try to get used to Pliny but then I am reminded that my PS Makes no sense in Pliny.
Anywho, lest readers think that I'm planning to spend the month complaining about skins, rest assured, I will not. I think I've gotten it out of my system for now at least.

Our plan is to eventually make a new and improved Goo (and of course the other legacy skins), which will have exactly the same functionality that Pliny has. Development is a bit slow to say the least, sorry! But we really hope that when we can unveil the new system you will like it.
I know that Pastey is wedded to Goo, it's his favourite skin. So if you want you can go and ask him directly. 
He can say more about what is in the pipeline.

Hi - when I (goo through and through) go to the front page via the way I told you about (clicking on the logo at the top left), then click on the create banner, I get the Create page in goo.
You should perhaps check your "Preferences" the bottom link on the left in goo.
They should be set at Classic Goo in the pulldown menu for "Skin". Don't forget to "Update" before leaving.
Then you need never see Pliny again.

Thanks for the tip TC! That did work. I'm happier now.
And thanks Lanzababy for the update. It's good to know TPTB haven't completely abandoned Goo!
