Yes. WYSIWYG is not like the theme. This is because I need to take the
theme's CSS and customise it for TinyMCE (the WYSIWYG editor), and if we're
going to change the theme, I don't see the point in doing all that work,
just to do it all over again.

Also, Drupal filters HTML input with a very strict filter by default. This
is to prevent cross-site scripting and various other possible
vulnerabilities and attacks. I will expand the list of allowable tags.

Don't blame Drupal for the fact that I haven't fully set the site up yet.
