Thanks a million for that Philip - thats all makes sense! - can i ask you
though, i see a lot in the Jetspeed2 specs regarding "css"........
"Deployment Jetspeed Portlet and Page Skins (Decorators) CSS Components
Configurable CSS Page Layouts
Easy to Use Velocity Macro Language for Skin and Layout Components"
might you be able to point me in the right direction on how to change the css
properties of portlets - ie how easy is it to incorporate css into portlets? -
is this done via velocity?

Take a look at the folders in TOMCAT/webapps/jetspeed/decorations. The
directory layout is for themes (portal skins) and the directory
portlet is where you can change the portlet css.
