John Gruber on Joe Trotter’s “God I Hate Wordpress” article. “I’ve never seriously investigated WordPress, but I’m nearly certain that if I wanted to, I could switch Daring Fireball from Movable Type to WordPress without changing the design at all.” No doubt. Remember kids, the software behind the blog is just a tool.

Dude, there is something very very wrong with your feedburner feed, it’s injecting masses of HTML tags into the feed, making it really, really hard to read.

Wordpress is the store, a design (theme) is just the store-front. Anything CSS and PHP will let you do, can be done via any content engine.

Nothing like ‘big names’ tripping over such a simple differentiation.

Really? It looks fine to me in NetNewsWire and Safari. What are you reading it in? And what URL?

Google reader (at work).

It may have been the quote - not sure.

Could have been, I had a few dodgy characters due to copy/pasteing from Daring Fireball, I noticed them later and altered the post.
