I quite enjoy reading Chris Siebenmann's blog [https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/] which is very light on theming, as I really like the aesthetic. I have to say though, if all blogs were like this the Internet might seem a bit boring, so I chose to give my own blog some personality.

When I first built my current site, it was fully unstyled like Chris', but as I started making little tweaks, they snowballed into a proper design. I couldn't help but add more of my personality to it.

Part of the joy of having a personal website that nobody reads is that it can act as a playground, and the design is part of that.

What do you like about reading this? Its so hard to read for me on a 27 inch monitor in a full screen browser window, lol
This is how most of The Web was in the early days, with some of the clunkiness smoothed out.
