Well, it seems every Perl programmer at one point or another wrote their own templating system. I went from my own to HTML::Template to a big fan of Template::Toolkit. The best one imho in PHP is Smarty. I'd rank it up there with Template::Toolkit. Take a look: http://smarty.php.net/ Of course it's very easy to change not only the look and feel but the actual layout and everything else about it. Best thing about not writing your own personal propriertary system is you benefit from the world at at large. I haven't used Smarty in a awhile as I've been mired in a CMS but I just recently had a chance to use it and I see it has been improving. Take a good look at it.
