I'm so going to figure out how to change the look of my weblog!!!
Jon is examining a lesson I learned a while ago: format sets you free.... Free to be creative. Free to focus on the thoughts. Free form design, layout, essay structure, etc takes away from true creativity: the art of communicating thoughts. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

Smart designer!
dooce.com: "As of today, 22 April, 2002, I will no longer be updating this website, dooce.com. [EVHEAD]
In all of my web prowling, I've searched for someone who might be willing to do a set of Radio templates for me for a fee. While the brash writing style isn't one I'd necessarily relate to, this web site has shown some of the finest design talent I've seen on the web. If this is truly 'the end,' I consider it a loss.
Take a look at this tribute as well! These are two extremely gifted designers.

Mark Pilgrim (no relation) clarifies and answers my themes questions
Clarification on themes. Steve Pilgrim (no relation) asks: "Am I correct in saying Mark Pilgrim has 11 MovableType themes?" No. I have 1 MovableType theme and a few lines of Javascript that dynamically swaps the CSS. The HTML never changes. This means I don't need to publish 11 copies of my site just to get 11 themes; I publish 1 copy, and let you decide how you want to read it.
Joe Gregorio has a similar CSS-based style switcher on his Radio site. There are one or two caveats to be aware of, but it's quite doable: he's doing it. Ask him for details. [diveintomark]
This may put me on the road to creating a theme for my site. Mark's links are a huge help. Thanks!

Am I correct in saying...
Mark Pilgrim has 11 Movable Type themes? These themes could be downloaded by a user of MT and used, but these are not themes suited to Radio as I understand it. Here's what I'm reading from:
Author Beware. ...brings me up to 11 radically different CSS-based themes ("this one goes to 11"... [diveintomark]
