You would just create two content panes like this (for ascx skinning):

<table>
<tr>
<td id="contenpane" runat="server">
</td>
<td id="contenpaneright" runat="server">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

So the two columns will both be a contentpane (with a different ID) and don't forget one of your contenpanes MUST have the a "contenpane" ID, for the others the ID-name is free.

I am looking to get some good references and I and I saw traincert.net and dncreative.com. They are mostly video based tutorials. Does anybody have some opinions if you can learn dotnetnuke just watching videos? Or is it better getting a book?

Thanks

I think the skinning document with the documentation will tell you everything you need to know to get started.
If you don't have a fair amount of knowledge on HTML and CSS, buy a book about that. Skinning is IMHO 10% getting to know the skinning system of DNN and the rest ordinary HTML CSS Javascript knowledge.

Thanks Timo I will try to read this weekend. I am a lot confused right now especially with skinning the SolPartMenu. I am trying to do one very simple thing which is changing the forecolor of the submenu MainMenu_SubMenu but it not working at all. The white color of MenuItem is set for both root and child items. That is weird because you can change background color but why wouldn't the font color work?

.MainMenu_SubMenu {
color: #000000;
background-color: #ffffff;
z-index: 1000;
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color='#696969', Direction=135, Strength=3);

.MainMenu_MenuItem {
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
font-family: 'Arial','Verdana';
font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 8pt;
line-height: normal;
font-size-adjust: none;
font-stretch: normal;
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
}

Apparently, the forecolor of the submenu is overriden by MainMenu_MenuItem.

Can you help one more time?

It's quite normal to be confused about skinning solpart.
I'm not really the one to ask since I never use it.....
(I use alternative menu skinobjects)
A nice site to look at is this one: http://www.skinningtoolkit.com/ it explains most of the default classes in DNN.
According to what i read there your CSS should work....
No idea why it doesn't, sorry.
