My church paid somebody to make its website, several years ago, and a volunteer who doesn't know much about the coding has been maintaining it and making various changes over the years.

Along the way it lost all its column buffers.  Text is flush against the column edges.  I noticed the CSS folders are all empty, and jumped to the conclusion that the CSS somehow got lost.  I spent some time figuring out which folder to use to create new styles, made a padding rule and so far just applied it to one page item as a test.

But the volunteer says the site was built with a skin, and had no CSS and doesn't want me messing with it.

Can someone enlighten me about what in a skin would apply apply padding and margins to content?

And is my assumption right or wrong that skins come with a CSS file?

THANKS!
