Learning RSS and CSS for Little Gain

I've been hired to create a website for a local writer who wants to do a podcast. He is using the university's equipment to create his audio program, and they let him because it's not-for-profit. He eventually wants to take it and go a bit commercial and try to make some money.

So here's the thing. I helped him get his domain name and hosting account. Showed him what it's all about. That's what I do - I'm a consultant. I built a simple front page for the site (he said his main content would be the podcast) and I thought I was done.

Now my phone rings nearly every day so he can tell me that he's not pleased with the layout and the level of professionalism that the site has, and "...could it be more like the BBC site?"

Well, yeah, if you were paying me $80K to do it. But this is nonprofit. And you're paying a student a pennance. A student, by the way, who works full-time and squeezes in his classes among the hundreds of miles driven every week, his family, and the rest of his life. Calm down, sir, or find someone else. I'm not a starving student, and you haven't recorded a single word yet.
