Combining css and inline styles is something which hasn't been 'the done thing' in more than ten years. "In less than 5 weeks of being here", "I have been using Perl Monks for, probably, 20 years on and off.", your account is 5 weeks old, but given you tell us that you've been been here longer I'm not sure what point, if any, you're trying to make. All of these things points you list are regularly covered here in threads. Regardless I'm glad to hear they've been beneficial. Perhaps participation/engagement has helped progress matters. "Change has to be paced!" I think I've been clear that nobody expects you do spend time on anything, let alone rush into things. If these things happen at all I'd advise taking your time. Moving to templating is a great first step, being able to have people not familiar with programming alter templates can free up a considerable amount of your time.
