perhaps we can avail him to write up a page or two on what/how he approached it.  I did a 10 minute appraoch on my site, but I don't know Wordpress at all and still learning enough css that I don;t have to spend 15 minutes looking up how to do something.

I am probably the most impatient of 'power users' in Drupal and I 
have to say that I have fallen in love with this section. Just give 
me more please!

I have a question : IHas anybody compared blow-by-blow an MT template 
or WordPress theme against a Drupal one? Blog designers are not all 
like ScriptyGoddess who, well, is a coder and designer. Breaking down 
a template might be making it easy for people to transition from 
designing and customizing blogs to Drupal. At least it would have 
made it easier for me :) I can work on the MT example.
