I think the only aspect of MovableType I miss is the elegant designs: I think Mena had something there. WordPress has a geek ethos about it, with the look and feel having “some assembly required.”
I’m slowly putting together a new face for this site, based on the Gutenberg style listed in the selector. It’s called, oddly enough, new, and is very much a work in progress. The changes are by no means sweeping: I’m just trying to de-clutter the mess I’ve made of things. As soon as I earn enough to get a check from Google, the AdSense stuff is going: I’d pitch it now, but I’m 41¢ from the point where they cut checks. I’ll stick it out. (Of course, it might take the rest of the month to get that.) I may lose the iTunes affiliate link, since I don’t need something I have to maintain: if they can’t rotate ads in, I’m not doing for them.
And I’m going to just simplify the styles, fonts, and colors. As appropriate, I’ll add stuff. And it’s not like you have look at my experiments: the selector will stay there. So if it looks even worse, I’m the only one stuck with it.
