Hi Everyone,
I am a complete beginner to DNN.  I have read a number of good posts on DNN Skinning/CSS.  Everywhere i seem to change a property in the CSS files or Skin files i never see any changes on the site. 

My goals is to completely redesign the asthetics of the site.  Does anyone have any pointers on good places to start.  Can anyone provide an example of how they changed particular files to make visual changes to the site?

I originally created my own site with some success but feel DNN may be a better option if i can make changes easily to the look and feel.

Thank you for your help and ideas.

Thanks guys for your input thus far. Your website above was useful for an example of skins. Cheers.

From what i understand thus far, i can create a DNN skin and update all the tags in that file then when running DNN i can run the site and change the skin from the DNN standard to the one i have made. I think this is right.

Does anyone have a step by step? i have an ok understanding of css and skin tags but need an overview to explain the steps to implement.

Hope this makes sense err... Thanks Kindly.
