We're adding some FAQs with the html module and we're going to reuse the same CSS/jQuery on multiple portals.

Where is the best place to store the CSS and how do I reference it in the HTML module? 

I've heard I can add a style tag to our main Default.aspx page, or just add the CSS via the CMS (Admin - Site Settings - Stylesheet Editor) but I'm wondering what is the best practice for DNN.

Thanks

If you need to use the same CSS across multiple portals, I would add it into either the Skin.css file (assuming they all use the same skin, or you have access to edit all the Skin.css files).

You could also add it to /portals/_default/default.css which gets loaded on every page of every portal in a DNN instance.

The /portals/#/portal.css file is specific to each portal, so if you want it across multiple portals you'll have to add it to multiple portal.css files.

Thanks Chris. Since I had to add both CSS and jQuery files, I decided to just change the website/Default.aspx page to include references to my .css and .js files (rather than change the Default.aspx file AND the _default/default.css file - which worked great btw).

Ultimately I added a <script /> tag for the .js file and a <link /> tag for the css in the Default.aspx file. Then I added:

website/Resources/Shared/
  - scripts/myFile.js
  - stylesheets/myFile.css

Thanks for the reply!

you shouldn't modify default.aspx, because your changes will get overwritten on upgrades. DNN 6.1 introduces the new client dependency framework, you should have a look at it (there is some documentation at wiki.dotnetnuke.com)
