    Newbie in need of Help and Advice regarding applying my own design

    Hi everyone,

    I am a complete newbie to Umbraco so I am looking for some help. I have also signed up to the videos but I still am struggling with theming it so to speak.

    Basically what I would like to know is should I always install a starter kit?

    I have installed the business kit for my site but I am not sure how to apply my own design. I take it this is what the skin is for?

    I read a lot that, only the CSS and a small amount of markup should be changed in the skin, if this is the case how can I create a custom design and apply my own markup?

    To apply the Skin I have watched the video on this topic and followed the instructions however my skin does not seem to be overwriting the starterkit. Do I need to click apply skin? When I go to the admin and click modifyTemplateSkin i see my skin but it only has the rollback option on it.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Robert
