I don't dislike or otherwise feel viscerally towards the default Octopress theme - I can just remember the way a website looks far more easily than I can someone's name.
When I see a visually distinctive site for the second time, I think 'ah ha, I've been here before'. When I see someone's Octopress blog, I never know if it's the first or second or tenth time I've visited that particular blog.
I have the same trouble with Svbtle blogs, if they use a similar accent color - there's 'red Svbtle guy' and 'blue Svbtle guy' but with very few exceptions there aren't any discrete individuals.
- skinnymuch 13y agoI see. I jumped the gun and did not see your point was more nuanced than I thought. Yeah, o agree with what you say. I dont really come across default Octopress much anymore, but yeah I get the whole Svbtle look being around too much now and not showing individualism.
