Fifteen years ago, you could install WordPress and have a functional blog with fully custom colours and headings, archive and category lists, and log-in links up in twenty minutes. For free.

Now I’ve got some asshole expecting me to pay $40 for the privilege of changing the colours on their bare-bones template. All because WordPress has made it harder to customise things than back when you used to have to do it by hand with HTML and CSS.

Absolutely ridiculous.
