I'm evaluating ediwWrx. One more question:

Would I be correct in assuming that I would be able to edit and use any of the styles on "Open Souce Web Design" (oswd.com) in editWrx?

I'm surprised that nobody here seems to be using them...

I don't know how someone could use templates from oswd.com, there are no templates there. Oswd.com is a spam website.

Ah - that's a horse of a different color.

Templates at oswd.org look like they would be perfect. I just opened the ones on the home page and see that oswd consistently wraps different sections on a page in divs. For example, navigation is in one div while body content is in another. You could therefore add an editblock tag to the div with body content and turn that div into an editblock.

Each div has an id which is not a problem. For example

<div id="stuff"> would get changed to <div id="stuff" editblock="stuff">

and then be sure to add the editblock's closing comment behind their closing div tag like so

</div>

HOWEVER, when you get into some of the proprietary designs (example by csstemplateheaven.com) they do not follow the same div rule. So editblocks would sometimes need to be set up using span tags instead of divs to preserve the template's layout.
