If I wanted the user to decide how my pages should look, I'd let the user
code my pages. However, I am not trying to dictate look and feel, rather
I'm am striving for something which does not look so repulsive that user
will sit there thinking they're seeing an Andy Warhol rendition of a Picasso!
I'll settle for just "not bad looking" at this point.

No it wasn't. It's always sucked :)

The user at this point will be happy to get what I give him, never mind
decide that it should look different than I meant it to.
