How about this?

How about this for a theme? It's pilfered from the lovely Arcsin (arcsin.se) - although I had to get rid of the hearts and fluffy clouds!

I have been attempting to write some real words - stuff that people may actually want to read, although I'm not going to put them online until I get the CMS sorted.

In the end I decided against Movable type - it has too many dependencies (such as Perl) that I just don't want to worry about right now. So, for the time being, I will use my own simple CMS that I can play with and tweak to my hearts content.
