I am really liking Beck's Cafe now. At Typepad, things felt somewhat constrained and limited. With Beck's Cafe on WordPress and A Small Orange, I'm feeling pretty good that I can do pretty much whatever I like. The theme part though is something I have to play with. I like using what I have now, wp-andreas09, but I'm yearning for these new simple themes that are coming out now. The point of Beck's Cafe is the writing, the content and hopefully the dialogue around it. Does my current theme and color scheme help or hinder that? I'm not sure. The black and white coloration emphasizes the writing, but looks so drab. The color seems to pull people's eyes back to the sidebars away from the core writing – maybe it's just me. So we'll see.
In the meantime, feel free to plop on over to Beck's Cafe for a look, a cup of coffee and a read
