Thanks for responding my post.
Okay, so only one template are included in the latest version of DNN. Suppose I want my DNN portal to have a certain layout, should I then create a template or is it a skin file I need to create??
((I'm a DNN newbie))
Let's say you want to have a home page, a guestbook, a gallery, and a blog on your site. You just install DNN, add the pages to your portal, and then add the relevant modules to the pages.
If you want others to be able to set up a DNN portal with exactly the same pages, the same modules on the pages, and with the same settings, you create a template from your site. You then give the template to your friends and they use it to set up their own site.
If you want to have the pages have a certain look and feel, i.e., fonts, colors, graphic images around the boxes, background textures, etc., you create a custom skin and assign it to your portal.
hope that clarifies things for you!
