    <section name="Decorator and Theme Customization">
      <p> 
      Now that we have created our custom Jetspeed project, lets start customizing the portal design.
      The portal design, or skins, are known in Jetspeed as <i>decorators and themes</i>.
      With decorators and themes, you can customize the portal experience to the branding of your 
      organization. In this tutorial, we will simply change a few images, CSS styles and colors to get 
      you on your way.
      </p>
      <p>
      It is important to note that all of the changes made in this section 
      are made in the build environment. The changes we are making here could just as easily
      be made using the portal's live customization features. For example, you can drop a decorator
      or theme into the portal while its running. Jetspeed will pick it up automatically. Or, to 
      customize a page, you can use the portlet customizer or desktop customizer, portlet selector,
      and site manager: all administrative portlets that work on your live portal. However, the point of
      configuring everything in a Maven build is to be able to easily reproduce portal environments
      for development, testing, and new deployments.
      </p>

      This section of the tutorial covers customizing:
      <ul>
      <li>Portal Skins (or Decorators). We replace the default logo, colors, and page header and footers with our own.
      </li>
      <li>Portal Themes. Same as Portal Skins, but themes apply to the Jetspeed Desktop.
      </li>
      <li>Configuring the default portal page to use these new decorators and themes</li>
      </ul>
      </p>	
	  <p>Lets get started with customization of the default portal page decoration</p>
