my 2 pennies : If you have seen any html before or understand a little of the syntax then the PP templates should be a doddle, improvements can always be made of course in the layout of anything. I've customised the look and feel of photopost and made some very nice styles, same with vbulletin, i have the most downloaded style at vbtemplates.com so i know what i'm talking about, the attached is one example of what you can do, looks good IMO (even if i do say so myself)

- when the final version of PP is out then i can alter the languages, edit the templates and customize away to my hearts content!
