There are some great blog themes for Wordpress at Elegant Themes. He has tried several of these. With a current bug in Wordpress he is unable to use them for his podcast blogs. Unfortunately, the Blubrry Powerpress plug-in that he uses is broken when he activates these themes. They do work great for blogs without this plug-in.

Rich feels that these services are not as robust as services that have already become popular, such as Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Utterli and others.
However, simple services like this may be very attractive to those that want to blog and manage messaging to small groups or communities, perhaps without going out “to the globe.”
