Hi there,

After installing your DNN instance, I think it's wise to read about skinning first. Here's is a video from Chris Hammond on the subject:

To learn about skinning, it may be helpfull to use an existing skin (portals/_default/skins) and start tweeking.

1. Copy a folder to a new instance under the same folder (portals/_default/skins).
2. Select your newly created skin in page settings (or admin/site settings)
3. Start tweeking and watch the results.

To start a new skin from scratch, create a new .ascx file in your folder. Make shure there is at least one <div id=contentPane"" runat="server"></div>. DNN needs this as the default container.

When things start to make sense, take a look at the portals/_default/containers folder and see if you understand what's happening there.

Good Luck!

Stefan
