Do you mean using something like the DDR Menu Module which is installed in DNN 6.x by default? Just add a module to a page and adjust the settings as required. Needs the templates installed, see http://dnnddrmenutemplates.codeplex.com/

Thanks for the link Pingle.

While that helps i am looking for ways to teach non programmers how to create simple skins without touching code.

Please let me know if you have any additional suggestions.

Thanks.

I'm not sure that it's realistic, or even useful, to speak of programmers v non-programmers, or code v non-code. The most likely route for creating a skin, in DNN, inevitably involves touching some kind of code. It assumes an awareness of html tags, and of CSS at a minimum.

You can drop in a menu with a single tag plus a handful of attributes, but you will have to accept a canned design. There is no clear dividing line here.
