Im trying to follow the skinning tutorials, but there are som many of them and i dont know wich ones are outdated.
1. if i understand correctly i can create the containers as HTML files and then parse them.
2. For the tokens should i use
A)[TITLE] or
B) <dnn:TITLE runat="server" id="dnnTITLE" />
3. Is it so that if i use 2A then the html will be parsed and exchanged for 2B
I would like to be able to design the container with some help of the preview. In Visual Web Developer the 2B version causes errors to appear and then the preview wont help.

I would recommend that you start to develop containers and skins directly as ascx files. You will find it easier in the long run. The HTML parts are exactly the same, and you just need to insert the controls rather than tokens.
Start by looking at the ascx files for the Minimal Extropy skins and containers.
These tutorials will get you up to speed quickly:
# DotNetNuke ASCX Skinning for Professional Skinners
# DotNetNuke Nav Menu
# How to Package a Skin for DotNetNuke 5
# Nav Menu v2 for DotNetNuke v5
# Skin Object Tokens for DotNetNuke 5
# Super Stylesheets Skinning in DotNetNuke 5 - DNN Layouts
# DotNetNuke Nucleus Skin Designer
# DNN Garden - DDR Menu for DotNetNuke

The problem with ascx skinning is that my designer does not have DNN installed to her computer(she tried it bu gets errors). So she wont get the help from the intellisense about the token parameters. But still i guess however it is faster when you dont need to parse the skin file when making changes.
However, i would still need documentation of the tokens and their parameters.

Look at the DNNCreative Skinning Toolkit and also at DNN Skinning Reference at
http://www.thinkofdesign.com/resour...reference.
Documentation for the DotNetNuke skin objects is at
