Redesigning a blog nobody reads

So I’m thinking about redesigning numberless, in part out of procrastination, and in part because I believe it looks too much like a blog.

What would I like it to look like? Something like (picnic, lightning) would be nice (you know, I only just got the Lolita reference?). The question is, how do I make my site look like his site without stealing his layout? He’s not a WordPress user. Doesn’t that somehow make it okay?

Note to self: No matter how fickle you get, do not change domain names again. Ever.
