I wanted to start blogging and set up Octopress/Jekyll, and spent a few days choosing a theme and then playing with the colors. Granted, I was not entirely happy with how it ended up looking, and generally did not have much motivation to start writing. Looking back, there seems to be some nice themes I'd be happy with[1].
But since I do not yet have the habit of writing, any little thing that will take time from writing/publishing a blog post will interfere with a spur of inspiration.
This takes care of all my needs: no need to think about the design, no need to worry about deploying and maintaining, etc.
