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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  5. Just wish to say your article is as astounding. The clarity for your put up is simply spectacular and that i could suppose you’re a professional in this subject. Well along with your permission allow me to take hold of your feed to keep up to date with drawing close post. Thanks one million and please keep up the gratifying work.

  6. After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any method you may remove me from that service? Thanks!

  7. Cool write-up, I found it surprisingly helpful and it’s simply the content I was scouting for. No need to say how it took me long to come across it, so that’s why I thoughtto spend a while to comment and give my thoughts about it. That said, on on the second paragraph if I remember well, you made a small typo, maybe you should make sure. carry on the good-job !
