On drupal.org, I really use the search feature as much as possible. I try to search for everything I can think of, and only come to post when I really can't find the answer to what I need, or don't understand the answers I fine and the topics don't seem as accurate to my specific issue as I would like.

To start, I am using Drupal 6.2. I have started to rework the Zen Classic theme into what I want, with the start being right here: http://drellingism.com. I started from the top going down, so the header is completed, I have two navigation bars, the search box is great, and everything is fine. It is really going well and I am picking this Drupal stuff up much easier than I expected, though some things hold me back from being able to exercise full control on my site.

My site off-line page is very important to me, and I want to have a page that resembles my website and not just a huge white field with the words "Site off-line" in the default colors and all that. In trying to redo the Maintenance pages, here are the posts I stumbled across:

http://drupal.org/node/58562
http://drupal.org/node/60840
http://drupal.org/node/172349

I can't tell if they are for older versions of Drupal, or for the one I have... because all the suggestions tend to be vastly different.

I looked up how to add css sheets to my page, and I got that working. My only problem is that the maintenance-page.tpl.php doesn't seem to want to use my maintenance.css, and when I add maintenance.css to my theme.info file, it uses the maintenance.css stylesheet for my whole page.

I realize there are maintenance files in modules/system, but I don't want to change any files in there.

Summary:

I thought I would be able to put maintenance-page.tpl.php and maintenance.css into my theme folder and have it work. When this didn't work, I added maintenance.css into my theme.info. Still no luck.

Any suggestions?
