I went in, tried to change the style for my blog, and found that "Zesty" wasn't offered as one of the options. Whether this is because "Zesty" was a Mike Weaver stylesheet creation, because it isn't offered to free accounts, or simply because it has since been removed as an option for new accounts, I wouldn't be in a position to know.

What I do know is that this is where I give up on Dreamwidth, for a while at the very least. Being able to choose the title atop one's page is basic functionality. I don't have time to jump through hoops, and a user shouldn't have to make the time to do so, just to do something this basic.

If the people at Dreamwidth are even a little bit smart, they'll get that. The market for blogging services is contracting. One either provides a competitive service, or one goes out of business. Try looking up some of the former livejournal clones or free blogging hosts running the Wordpress MU, and one will see just how easy bankruptcy is to find in this line of work, but we'll see what Dreamwidth chooses to do, in maybe a year or two.
