I installed a module. But, I did not like the layout. I want to change the size of the template because it's too big and the informaiton is spread out too far on it. Is there a book that shows you how to edit templates for DNN/ASP script. I know very little to nothing about it. But, If I want my site to look right. I need to learn something about it.

Also is there a module or something that allows you to decyphyer template code into something that's a little more easy to edit. Something like a drag and drop template editor?

What module?  If they have templated layouts, they come with instructions for modifying the layouts.  There are no books for tempalted modules.

I look into it. I thought all templates used the same type of code.

Templates are normally (it depends on what they are used for and which module) just straight HTML/CSS with tokens that get replaced at run time. You should be able to edit it in the HTML editor of your choice (I use Notepad for quick changes and Visual Studio for big ones) - I am terrible at at HTML/css though!

Hi Rodney and thanks for the information! I'll pick up a book on HTML. If there was a WYSIWYG editor I would be in heaven! LOL
