I have to agree with quite a few of the posts above.

CSS is the way to go. No doubt about it. But a client-side user friendly CSS editor would bo a LONG way towards a user-friendly site. I wouldn't be surprised if there are quite a few generic Javascript-based CSS editors out there.

Another point: the HTML output of the current software is downright horrible. I'm not talking about how it renders on screen, I'm talking about the HTML code. Styles, javascript, HTML, it's mixed around everywhere, making the code hard to read.

Why not isolate the Javascript and put it in .js files? Much cleaner, and the pages will load faster once the .js files are cached. Same goes for the styles - why not use an external CSS - loaded from user preferences - instead of all those inline styles? Much cleaner code, better maintainable, and errors like Unicornst reports are much easier to avoid or fix.

A single CSS for all the different parts of the site might be a bit much to ask, but it certainly would help make the site more user-friendly.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
