Hi,

I've been following the infor on how to brand SPS
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odc_sp2003_ta/html/office_sharepointhowtoapplybrand.asp

which is great.. or at least was, I seem to have come unstuck all of a
sudden. First page was a breeze, no problems, looks fantastic. I then went
to modify the rest of the pages as it says to do in the above documents...
there is the problem. Something very weird is going on.. I modified all the
files it said to modify. The .css I created is being used, however I'm
obviously not modifying the right files or something...

The document says to modify:

In each area template, the default.aspx file needs to be modified, for
example, <%SystemDrive%>\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web
server extensions\60\Template\[Loc ID]\SPSNEWS\default.aspx.

which I have done, and it didn't change. Restarted the server etc, no
change, finally out of desperation, I actually renamed default.aspx in that
directory to another name, yet it continued to load, after restarting the
server... so that can hardly be the file then can it? I really really want
to show my CEO our branded site by the end of tomorrow and am completely
stuck on this. I'm a total asp newb, so don't know, do these things get
compiled and cached anywhere... is my only line of reasoning, but if someone
could point me in the right direction, I would be ever so grateful.

Thanks
