Most of the themes available for Wordpress (or, for that matter, for Drupal) as blog-style themes. Any Website that uses them will look like a blog. Maybe a nice blog, but still a blog, with the front page just composed of the latest entries, arranged in reverse chronological order, with maybe some ads or links [...]
Meta-Morphosis is a free theme offered by Woo Themes, a premium theme service.

Public domain images are all very well, but they never come out quite right. I use Gimp to edit photos and various pictures, since it’s layer-based. The filters are very useful, and it’s GUI is quite simple to use. I used it back when I had Windows, and I still use it now that I [...]

I’m not a particular fan of this theme, there aren’t really any distinguishing features, but I like the general layout of this. The colours it came with were a bit weird, so I fixed those up, and I also changed the header, and changed it so it didn’t repeat. I changed some of the other [...]
