Posterous, Mac and productivity.

Liking posterous so far, and my main issue is to the fact that I can just email my entry.
 
Although I'm quite satisfied with posterous, I also would like the following features to be added:
1. Capability of making my own theme (which I'm sure quite a lot of people agree)
2. Capability of making a static page.
 
I know people will prolly mock me and say "If you wanted customisation, why not go for wordpress (the .org one)". Well, I tried it, several times in fact.
The thing is, I've spent quite a lot of time customising it and in the end I didn't have time to write anything because most of the time when I think of something to write, I'm usually in the middle of creating "my next beautiful blog". A bit similar with my experience with Linux, where I spent days to configure the perfect desktop and not actually productive :). Of course that changes drastically when I switched to Mac, back in 2005.
 
Now, not saying that Linux is bad, as I don't want to start another Linux vs Mac (or Windows). Its what happened with me, and if it happened to you as well, smile with me :)
 
All I'm saying is, if I can have the 2 points mentioned, I'm fairly sure I'll be a bit more productive in my effort to blog, as I've always wanted to.
 
I've been quite productive with my Windows (when I'm working in an office) and with my Mac (when not working in an office). Here's hoping I can achieve the same with posterous :)

 

Edit: Aulia touched on a good point about customising in his tweet. When I said customising, it's customising a'la tumblr, where it's basically just html, and without having to upload etc.

You want a custom theme and then you said you spent too long customizing your blog instead of posting. Eh?

we're totally with you on this. we want to make the publishing side of things so rich, powerful, and easy, that you can focus on the content.

People get so lost battling the technologies they use, they never actually get a chance to enjoy them.

Theming is coming soon, along with a bunch of other stuff :)
