Switching Skins
Click the Activate button on the right of a skin to enable it. The skin currently in use shows an Activated state.
Risk-free switching
Switching skins does not affect your article data — the front end applies the new skin immediately. After switching, review the Skin Options page: options differ between skins.
Template technology
xBlog skins and templates use the Velocity template language. It is widely used and easy to learn — with the user manual and template manual you can access any blog or DNN data, and combine it with HTML to freely create all kinds of blog interfaces. Skins can be switched freely at any time.
