Spectrum:
[ ryan boren ..... wp-hacker subscriber ..... hack and paste designer 
..... light template editor, for text and such ...... person who 
downloads and uploads themes and plugins ...... person who stays with 
default but uses the header color editor ...... person stays with 
kubrick blue ...... person to intimidated by WP to use it ]

Anyone remember how a big chunk of template compliants went down when we

same functionality, but the <?php _e(); ?> stuff around all the text 
scared the living daylight out of people.
