Well, for my part, lack of visual customization is the sole reason I don't use Posterous for everything I blog. You reeled us in with cool tricks, but I'm not sure how I can ever make it my core blog if it can't improve visually.
It's also one of the key reasons I haven't yet recommended it to my friends who aren't early adopters. My less tech-savvy friends who use LiveJournal and Myspace see the service more as a geek toy. I showed my wife how easy it was to get content added and she loved it-- but she'd never tell anyone to actually go there unless she can put her personality onto the page.
For my part, I don't care so much for custom pre-built themes-- I just need a way to add my own CSS.
And then I see responses that don't agree that this is the #1 thing on Posterous's plate and it makes me sad as a user. I know how unfun that kind of customization is to code, so the geek in me can relate 100%-- yet speaking as a user, let's just get this feature already and let that be the one I see announced on HN.YC instead of these other cool features you guys want to add.
Keep up the good work, though. You guys make good stuff, no doubt.
