In my previous post, I made some remark about sense of community ... in Tumblr, and perhaps the lack thereof in Posterous. A few minutes after I'd done that, I came across THIS! :)
Whoever started it, it's a great initiative.
Decided to make this page white instead ... it was so dark.

Garry Tan said...Hey Jeff -- good idea. It'll be up to the theme designer to allow color changes. Unfortunately it is way too easy to myspace-ify blogs if you allow total and complete control of all colors. We believe that the theme designer should have final control over what is customizable, and its not possible to provide total color control to end users. Background images are coming soon -- it'll be a special feature that theme designers can take advantage of. Header images will usually be 500px across, and up to 500px high. Again, this is up to the theme designer. Hope that helps!

Jeff Stai said...hi Garry - thanks for the timely reply! I hear what you are saying about the colors - I expect if I really want to change things I could dive into the CSS. I know enough to be dangerous. Still, a set of totally color-customizable themes would be welcome by this end user!Again, for each theme a recommended size for a header image and an idea of placement will be a big help. I could do it by trial and error ("oh, that's where it goes") but why? Recommendations would also help avoid excessive Myspaceiness ;)
Good to hear about background images - cheers! - j
What I'm expecting to see soon, is a place for sharing ready-made Posterous themes...
