 !My Site Stylist
 
 my site stylist is a configurable graphical user interface to modify (perhaps even create) new themes.
 
-^note: this package is still in developement and certain aspects are nowhere near completion :)^
+{img src=/img/wiki_up//stylist.gif align=center}
 
-!!features and items available
-*admin area allows users with permissions to add/remove elements and modify definable properties that can be set for these
-*relatively simple to work with and allows basically full customisation of the site if you take the time to add all classes, tags and ids to the list of editable items.
-*it's possible to customise a css file that is visible globally for all users using that particular theme
-*in addition every user can have his/her own css file that is only applied when that user calls that theme
-**ideally this file should be visible if the style is applied to the individual area
-**basically:
-***user selects his/her favorite theme for his/her user area
-***user customises his/her favorite theme
-***user applies modifications to his/her user area
-***customisation is visible to every user accessing his/her user area
-*it is possible to manage images in all these customisations making my site stylist quite flexible and powerful
+!!admin area
+the admin area allows you to define what tags, classes and ids can be modified by users using the stylist. this allows the admin total control over how much can be modified.
+e.g. if you don't want the users to change the banner you have put up, don't allow users to change the settings for #tikitop.
+in addition it's possible to define what properties can be set.
 
--=this is a brief log of things that have been done and will be done=-
--=gui related=-
-form is collapsable at every element to save space
-individual and unified settings for borders and margins available
-admin area is now
-*sortable
-*searchable
-*pagination
-link to view original file is available
-*for simplicity reasons, i think it's better if the original file isn't directly modified (or copied and modified) but custom settings are loaded later resulting in overwriting of original css settings
+!!original files are never modified
+stylist doen't modify any of the original files but either creates new files that are loaded in addition to the original <style>.css file (when you use the graphical user interface(GUI)) or it creates a copy of the original file that is loaded instead of the original <style>.css file.
 
--=data related=-
-form submission results in easy to manage variables, similar to css syntax
-individual form buttons work (still submit full form - should be fixed at some point)
