It's really /not/ trivial to make it flashy/fancy and work well for 
everybody. It's easy to make it nice, functional, and effective, but 
fancyness (ie anything involving advanced CSS, JavaScript, etc) is a
bloody nightmare. It is, nonetheless, do-able and quite important.

Of course, I have little right to talk given the right mess the POST's 
site is in. It's alright, but ancient HTML (3.2) and the parse tree is 
broken.
