That's still one of my favorite threads in Hubski history. I'm mostly okay with the current UI, but that's because I'm really not picky with those kind of things (though that is slowly changing). You say Protopage, I think Tumblr. I suppose it's more or the less the same thing though, being able to build your own page with a layout you want and whatever features you want. Assuming I'm understanding that correctly. Side note: What is your threshold for embarrassing number of badges and disturbing number of followers?
I've been on Tumblr like once and didn't really understand it. Protopage? Yeah, that I had to set up for my mother-in-law when iGoogle went away. Looking at it now, yeah - might as well start a Wordpress blog. That's why I said "protopage" - you get a limited number of colors, you get a limited number of layouts, you can put one (1) image behind it if you're really bent about it. Me? Give me colors and fonts and I'm good. one need only browse Reddit for a while to see what's possible within CSS.
