I feel like I fall into a trap of constantly picking and my blogs, rather than just writing. The tweaking really gets in my own way. Does anyone else have that problem?

I think I am going to set a goal for myself to not do any more customization for the month of September—just write!

I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum: I went with Write.as because I can just write without needing to customize, and I’m not skilled enough with CSS anyway.

That’s where I want to get to, Paolo!
