That’s exactly what Prologue is. While not exactly a blog theme, Prologue stretches WordPress into the right mold in a way only WordPress [...]

If not, you usually have to add a list there, and tweak the css to ignore the list. Not anymore. I wrote a [...]
After all the long way computing has gone in the last 20 years, someone actually used one of the most advanced web technologies, AJAX, to create a command-line like interface for WordPress.

It was so bad that even I didn’t read the comments on this site through the posts, Instead I read them through the WordPress admin.
