You need to put a skinobject into your skin.  A skinobject is a placeholder that tells DNN where to put a control and you would need a control to pull the username or sitename or whatever from the database.  If the skin is designed in HTML then you use tokens to indicate where the controls should be placed in the skin.  If you design your skin in ascx, you place the reference to the control in the skin.  In HTML the skinobject tokens are formatted like "[LOGIN]" There are already tokens available for HTML skins that will display the user.  Read the skinning documentation, it lists all the tokens for skinobjects that are built into the sytem.  yo may want to adjust your stylesheet and XML files to control the way it looks when it is displayed.

Thanks for the reply Empulse.  I have a bunch of videos from DNNCreative that I have to review and I know skin objects are in there.

John, that piece of code was as slick as could be.  It worked perfectly!  Thank you.
