This is me. This is me skipping merrily along, "Tra-la-la, tra-la-la!," strewing roses from my hat amongst gamboling lambs, and the sun is shining, and the sky is blue.
And this is me suddenly meeting the website. WHAP! (It's better with hand gestures.)
Six hours later, and I know how Edison felt. You know, Edison of lightbulb fame? Who, when asked "How's it going?" by an innocent bystander, replied, "Well, I now know about 1000 ways not to build a lightbulb"? I know 24 ways the CSS and templates have trounced me. Soundly. And I also know why so many websites are crap: it's because decent, kind, hardworking individuals have come up against these same obstacles and decided to become Luddites. I will not become a Luddite. But I am 2 hours, 36 lines of code, and 4 templates away from hurling a rock at the computer. In a kind, decent, loving sort of way, of course.
