Sounds good to me. The more I think about actually creating a style from scratch, the more I realize just how ridiculous the amount of work required would be. Modifying an existing style would be perfectly acceptable and infinitely preferable.

Possible, but not really necessary. You know you can just append ?styleid=X to the site's URL to access a different style. Try it now:

If we do it that way we can keep the site running using the default current style but us developer types can work with the new style for as long as it takes until we're all ready to switch over.

By the way, if you clicked that link, you're going to want to click this one to put the site back the way it was before:

Agreed. I think that's what I'll do.

Tomorrow perhaps. Right now I must head to bed -- it's 4:38 am.

Of course not. I don't know why you would assume that it would.
