I am forever pissed off when I publish a post and the typography sucks. It's my job and i'm slightly anal when it comes to orphans and widows, kerning and legibility.
small parentheses: Readability and legibility are often confused.
Readability is most often and more properly used to describe the ease with which written language is read and understood – it concerns the difficulty of the language itself, not its appearance. It is a psycholinguistic rather than a typographic issue. Factors that affect readability include sentence and word length, and the frequency of uncommon words.
In contrast, legibility describes how easily or comfortably a typeset text can be read. It is not connected with content or language, but rather with the size and appearance of the printed or displayed text.
Anyway... If I had the time and patience I would either look for a better blog editor to make my posts "look" better or rework each post manually. I have tried to do this before, but I realised that my formatting gets creative once I click the publish button. GRR.
So in the meantime, I shall try to remain detached from what my blog looks like and try and concentrate on the content... which no doubt could do some with some help :)

Yeah, definitely there's got to be some content before you stary worrying about content layout. :)
On the plus side, if you eventually get into the habit in a serious way, there are plenty of other options for blogging. And you can import all of your old stuff.
Nops, don't agree...
Of course there should be some content... I assume it is present...
I wouldn't fill the blog just to tell there is some content... I prefer less frequency with upper quality than daily post just telling nothing...
