+Some people may consider ikiwiki's default look to be a bit plain. Someone
+on slashdot even suggested perhaps it uses html 1.0. While the default
+style is indeed plain, there's more fine-tuning going on than you might think,
+and it's actually all done with xhtml and style sheets.
+
+Stefano Zacchiroli came up with the idea of adding a [[css_market]] page
+where [[IkiWikiUsers]] can share style sheets that you've come up with for
+ikiwiki. This is a great idea and I encourage those of you who have
+customised stylesheets to post them.
+
+I'm also always looking for minimalistic yet refined additions to the default
+style sheet, and always appreciate suggestions for it.
