@Scott Hartley,

"Personally I don’t like the front end editing for all types of content I prefer my posts and content to be in the back end"

I agree with you 100%. Editing from the front-end feels like returning to the dark days of using MS Word to write documents. (I haven't used that beast since I discovered LyX and NoteCase Pro.) Separating form and presentation from content is just so much more efficient. Just choose (or create) a decent theme and let it do its job!
