While I was out, Steve kindly switched us over to WordPress.

How exciting is that? I hate choosing themes, but I don’t want to get trapped in the mass-customization hole that I’ve gotten myself into over the years. For now, I’ll stick with the default thing and go with the quick-and-easy rather than the rad-and-custom.

    Pikcing a theme can be an obsession. See http://daveshields.wordpress.com/2006/11/27/on-ferraras-cafe/, which was prompted in part by Steve’s theming.

    To me a key feature is minimizing whitespace. Many themes, and especially this default them, leave LOTS of whitespace on the page.

    You want as much of your writing as possible on the first page the reader sees.

    I quite liked the theme you had running: big text, clean presentation, adequate line spacing. Seriously, take half the day and port your MT theme to WordPress.

    I was thinking this morning of porting over the old layout. I spent quite sometime coming up with it, so I’m not sure I should ditch it.

    I knew I’d fall down the theme rathole!
