Quick question -- I have 2 existing sites.  One is an HTML/CSS site, and the new site is a DNN skin with a new skin.  There is some content (text/image layouts) that I like on the legacy site.  I tried just copying the HTML code into an HTML module on the DNN site.  However, the formatting is lost since the CSS file is no  longer there to be referenced.

I figure there is probably an easy way that I am missing to accomplish this.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

The quickest/easiest way would be to take the contents of the CSS file from the existing site and put it into the StyleSheet editor on the Admin/Site Settings page. Be sure to click on SAVE stylesheet after you add it, not the update button below that as it won't save the stylesheet.

I am using a DNN 4.9.4 CrystalSlateSkin skin. This skin has a very dark background thus making black text and dark blue anchors very hard to read. I have tried changing the text attribute to a lighter color but without success.  I entered the following in the StyleSheet Editor for a simple <p> tag:

p
{
color:red;
text-align:right;
}

I save the style sheet and then update the page.  I do not see me my style changes.  I look at the page in Firefox Firebug and it shows the style sheet containing the attributes for <p> tag are in a file located at:

portals/_default/Containers/MinimalExtropy/Container.css

with the following:
.Normal p {
margin-top:0;
}

I do not see my style code and do not have access to this css file.  I would have thought my changes to the StyleSheet Editor would have overridden the container.css file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
