Well, customizing the site to change over from a software review page to a personal blog wasn’t all that difficult. I just changed the tagline and removed some unnecessary stuff from the left-side column. Was going to change the theme etc but that’s not immediately necessary AFAIC, I might remove some of the current elements but for the most part I don’t mind the existing theme and the way it looks. I’ll prioritize content creation first, like I’ve always done, and worry about the pretty wrapping some other day.
Edit: Doesn’t look like you can choose a default category for microposts. Might give them a miss going forward as I’d at least like to be able to choose a default category and maybe tags. Then again maybe that would disqualify the entry as “micro”.
