As you mentioned, you do view the code as well, so I'll give you kudos on that Of course my standards are much higher than most, & I wouldn't hold someone outside my profession to the same standards I hold myself, however my issue is primarily with those who are paid as "professionals" and are anything but.

@Artashes, I'd also suggest getting away from FP.

To any who are seriously trying to be a professional.. I'd highly suggest weening yourself off of the WYSIWYG's. HTML & CSS are very easy once you grasp the basic logic. I mean.. "font-weight: bold" how hard is that?
