Themes

1. The upgrade to Hemingway is awesome. Before i didn’t like the darkness of the theme and the absence of the blogroll — both fixed. And, a long time ago, I wrote on another blog about how the perfect way to add customizability to blogs without required HTML (not that I mind coding, but many do). The theme options for Hemingway mirror my idea almost exactly. Too bad I’m not a Javascript genius — I’d have done it myself.

2. But the other themes that have been added lately are kind of… lame. Green Girl, Fresh Bananas, Banana Smoothie, that pink one. I’m sure that there are people whose blogs fit these themes, but they are kind of exclusionary. I would think that if you had a blogging tool where people couldn’t customize templates, you’d want your template selection to appeal to the broadest groups of people.
