Hello Alex, I am also a new user to Hobo, and I'm trying to figure out more or less the same things.
I know that you can extend the basic tags that were created with hobo generators using application.dryml. In addition, you can extend or replace css code, by also placing overriding code in application.css. But still, extending the default pages becomes very time-consuming if you want to radically update the whole site template. I mean, why extend the predefined page format (that resembles a blog) when normally (ex. in vanilla rails) you would just define the layout of your page? Why override the default css when you can just import the one you want? I presume this 'extending' process is consuming server resources, and slowing things down a bit. I am also trying to find a way to do that without abandoning hobo, but at the moment all tutorials differentiate the default hobo page design, without departing much from it. Anyway, looking forward to a reply from an experienced user!
