Exactly - so won't it just be so amazing when you have the features done 
already.

That's a developer - you'll just be installing and tweaking, not 
"developing".

Well design and functionality are certainly linked - and my advice is 
that by updating the platform you'd get valid XHTML and CSS examples 
"for free".  I'm not sure how to give general advice on design. 
Probably most people who live in CLI-linux land dislike "design" 
discussions.

I just read and search the w3schools stuff.  Oh, and use Firebug and/or 
the Web Developer toolbar in Firefox.  They make your CSS life MUCH MUCH 
better.
