Wash that grey right out of your blog.

Okay, maybe you’ve got a great sense of style. Then why is your Movable Type blog still using one of the default designs? It’s time to make something that actually communicates a little bit about your own sense of aesthetics.

The good news is, you don’t have to dig into learning CSS or anything fancy just to make a nice-looking site. Try out Arvind Satyanarayan’s Movable Type Style Generator: It works great with the default templates in Movable Type 3.2.

Using the Style Generator, you can create a new design with 1, 2 or 3 columns and your own personal color scheme with just a few clicks. There’s a sample blog that lets you see your changes live as you make them, and if you want to change your style, you just replace your stylesheet with the code that the Generator gives you. The best part is that Arvind only asks for a measly five bucks if you use the service. Of course, you could be a cheapskate and generate your styles for free, but donating will make you feel good, and even better, will make your blogs look great.
