Hi all!

I hope you guys will help me wit a few probably obvious questions. DotNetNuke is a totally new experience for me, but I am a bit familiar with programming (HTML, CSS). I'm figuring out what's possible with DNN (5.4.2) and what's not. Bit ashamed to ask these questions, but hopefully someons will take a second to answer them :).

- I've tried to change the appearance of my website using the Stylesheet Editor. Nothing works, everything stays the same. In fact, when I erase all entries originally there, ther's no difference at all. What's the use of the Stylesheet Editor?
- In relation to that, is it even possible to change for instance the background-color within DotNetNuke? So without making changes in the skin?
- I've uploaded a skin into my website that is close to my wishes, but I do want some things changed. I want to remove certain items like the date up on top, and the terms of use in the footer. What's the right way to accomplish that?
- The plan for my website consists of a vertical menu at the left of the page, which consists of numeral submenu's. Besides that, I want a menu at the top of my site with only some shortcut links like "Home, Search, FAQ, Links, ABC" etc. Should these link be formed by a second menu, or would it be better to just put a text-module with these links on top of every page?

Thanks for answering in advance! 

Thanks!

I've only got one remaning question, could you explain your comment about the shortcut links? 
I want to have static menu-items in the top of my site. When I create a skin myself, my solution would be to leave space in my design for a toppane. In DotnetNuke, I would add a module for the links in there.
My guess is that there are better solutions. I've allready seen that the links I can make with the module don't match the lay-out of my menu. And I can't fix that in DNN.
What you're saying is that the solution is to encode the shortcut links in de skin itself? How do I do that?!
