This might be a general question, but I can't seem to figure it out. What are containers in DNN? Skins are essentially a layout plus a colour scheme for the whole portal. So are containers the skin for desktopmodules?
Sorry if this question is novice. I am not confident in DNN yet, and am reading the doco. However i need this answer quite quickly.
Cheers.

Modules are one of the extension types, you may use to tailor your DotNetNuke based website to suit your needs. Within these extension types, modules are the primary driver of functionality and content within a DotNetNuke web site.
A container module is a module that hosts other modules inside it. The primary purpose of a container module is to define, through the properties that are set for it, the layout of the modules that it contains.
Containers allow you to add style and markup to any module independently of the page skin or the particular module.
The layout goes like this:

Yes, container is like a skin for single module. Using one skin for entire page, and several skins (container skins) for modules you can quicker create expected appearance.
In general this is a simple html snippet with several placeholders.
