I’ve just discovered the WordPress Theme Generator for the first time, that lets WordPress users ‘quickly’ create a theme without requiring any HTML, JS, PHP, or CSS knowledge. Based on the WordPress 2.1 with Yahoo! UI (Grids,Tabs & Fonts) to support all A-Grade browsers and Widgets.
I really hope that WordPress incorporate something like this into the default WordPress build in a future release. Don’t get me wrong, I think WordPress is a great product, but I find it disappointing that its power isn’t available in a simple way to the masses. I’ve been on the lookout for a good blogging platform to offer to my ISP users for quite a while now, and although I think WordPress is the best blogging service out there, I just don’t think it will be suitable.
Hopefully, WordPress.com will continue to improve to the point where it contains more of the features from the hosted WordPress solution.
