If I had all the time in the world, I’d spend a weekend redesigning my website. Then again, I’ve done this before, and I’ve never been really thrilled with my creations (this current iteration is too cramped, the content column too narrow, the random photo banner doesn’t have enough photos).
I’m just not a web designer. Sure, given the time, I could make a kick ass webpage. But I kind of think that time would be better spent baking bread and writing and going to the theatre (I just bought tickets to see Macbeth - starring Patrick Stewart!).
So that said, I’m thinking of switching from Movable Type to Wordpress. I’m not entirely sure why. I’ve been faithful to MT for the past few years. And now it’s what I know. Then I started using Wordpress on SmarterFitter, and WP seems so clean and simple in comparison to MT.
Fear: could switching from MT to WP be a nightmare in itself?
Does any of this matter given how many people read blogs through RSS readers nowadays?
Random thoughts of the morning. Maybe I’ll just go bake some bread instead.

I also vote for bread. Bread, theater, hiking… the world is so big, and even if this column is small, there are only so many “re”s you can put in front of design before you simply drive yourself mad.
