Sure, it might satisfy many people. But how selfless do you
expect me to be? I am the poor schmuck whose pics they are, who
puts on the show, who is wont to revisit these things and
rearrange them to suit different purposes or tastes. Now and in
the future.
*If* it looked fine enough to me in a range of modern browsers,
that would be half the battle. With PS - I had a long hard look -
it is a bigger uphill battle to thoroughly hand change the
templates to suit one's tastes than I would be wanting (it is not
impossible actually, just a bit counterproductive given one is
going for ease. You can get different skins (basically relying on
others to make different "looks" available) but one is too
dependent on others.
It depends on your interests, I would be loathe to depend on a
mechanic to fix my car or even my computer. Just don't want to be
quite as dependent on PS for something I damn well ought to be
able to code for myself. It is a matter of interest and pride I
guess. It is not just a practical matter with a deadline. I have
my own taste and it is as important where my own pics are
concerned as some other person who makes this or that template.

Am I worrying about the small things? If I don't want frames or
heavy use of tables or many other things, it is not a small thing
for me. It is a big irritation. I give a CD of stuff to a friend
or family member and they are really happy. Great! But I know
that I have given them something with a stinking pile of shit
inside it. Do I want to do this? What if someone were to peep at
the code? The nephew of the cousin of the... who is studying html
and css and knows that Aunty and Uncle Dorayme might know a thing
or two about these things only to find that ... Listen Travis, I
don't even want to be turning in my grave if this happens when I
am gone.
Do not misunderstand me. I am not complaining about PS or any
program. There is always do it all completely on your own, that
is easy but a slog.
