This information is written in the House Rules thread in both Vitkyng's and My games.
Unfortunately you've missed out on 6 skill points. If you take levels in your race's favorite class you gain bonus skill points as a human does just for being human. So 4 skill points at 1st level; then 1 skill point for each level in your favored class that you pick up. Humans also get this (in addition to their human bonus) but their favored class is whatever class they started with at 1st Level. There is no xp penalty for switching classes.
We do this because we want to give people an incentive to stick with their race's favored class rather than penalizing them switching classes.
I've been considering giving a +1 skill point and +1 hit point per level for favored classes because giving just +1 skill point doesn't seem like much of an incentive.
