Hello Drupal Community -
Just started developing with Drupal a few weeks ago and am still trying to wrap my head around it. Having fun learning the ins and outs, but could really use some advice in one area -
One of my biggest stumbling blocks is the horrendous, hacked together Drupal website I've inherited at my new job.
I'm a stickler for clean markup and minimal code and this site just makes my stomach turn - it's the worst platform to learn on! Obviously I don't have the option to start with a whole new install, so I'm trying desperately to figure out the best way to continue working on the site without building hack onto hack onto hack.
Not only does it spit out a ridiculous amount of HTML for a simple page, but the admin setup is totally nonsensical - there is no overall organization of content.
Does anyone out there have any advice???
I come from a WordPress background and have a good amount of PHP & jQuery experience.
Thanks!

Without know what has been "hacked' it would be hard to provide guidance.
