Hey,
I just wanted to re-iterate that coders and designers should listen to Novice folk and all their questions, often repeated questions. I'm seeing a trend here to cater more towards advanced knowledge which I think is an absolute huge mistake. A large majority of web dev companies are moving past having to know code (css included) and more towards a point and click system, especially for design options. And I'm sorry but having to add CSS to templates isn't the answer in the least-IMHO. Keep the point and click system, keep boxes for padding, margins, text options, borders-so that the novice user can click on the items right where they are, rather than having to go back to the templates (if they even know which template to use without having to come here and ask) and add several lines of CSS. I'm sorry to say but the CSS direction is NOT the answer. CSS is no easier than html for the novice person.
Respectfully submitted,
Finn
