I'm currently messing with my Wordpress theme (silversspace.com) and I spent a bunch of time yesterday reminiscing about my old websites https://wingedtyger.tumblr.com/post/726109958378307584

I had a job interview this week and have a 2nd round one next week.

It's very disappointing how websites have gone from colorful overlapping stuff and the possibility of organic shapes, to grey non-touching boxes.

I like having the options - clear, distinct box layouts can be really easy to navigate and organise, but they also sacrifice a lot of creativity.

It's nice to see the old websites of the 2000s and earlier and how much personality they have. :) I'd love if it that came back. There's probably a happy spot between organic and organised boxes, although I'd love to see a spectrum above all else.

The new block based wordpress themes are very confusing to try to customize.

I do not like some of the changes Wordpress made either. The block thing drives me nuts as I can't just highlight all the text I want to bold such as a snippet and it just makes it harder/longer.

good luck with all of this

There are a few things the blocks make a lot easier - tables and galleries - but they make basic stuff a pain.

[cornerofmadness]

Yeah that last round of major changes didn't do it any favors IMO

Good luck with the job interviews! Agreed that the web is a lot less fun and full of possibilities these days.
