 * Hi, I’m running the free version of WP Ultimate Recipe.
 * I’m trying to tweak the layout a little bit, and in order to do that I have to
   turn off the forces CSS and override the inline CSS with !important tags.
 * I’m just wondering: why the inline CSS rather than a stylesheet? wpurp is actually
   taking up a lot of space, I found out that an average recipe is like 40-50kb 
   of text, which has a lot to do with inline CSS being passed, often with a lot
   of the same terms like height:auto or vertical-align:inherit.
 * It also makes it harder to tweak obviously, and I’m slightly torn between either
   turning off inline CSS and writing my own CSS, or changing everything with !important
   tags, which is also a pain in the ass.

 * Sorry for the late response. For some reason I didn’t receive an email notification.
 * Our templates are generated dynamically by the [Template Editor](http://www.wpultimaterecipe.com/docs/template-editor)
   at runtime, which is why there is no static stylesheet.
 * If it’s only a small number of changes I’d recommend overwriting them with !important
   flags. Advanced users also have the possibility to [code their own template](http://www.wpultimaterecipe.com/docs/code-template)
   giving you all the freedom you need.
