I saw this post yesterday by @asgarth about the new PeakD blog project and claimed mine as soon as I could because I wanted to see the themes and customizations. If you missed it you can view the post here PeakD blog.
Essentially you just go to https://peakd.blog/, enter your HIVE username, claim your blog and use the little cog menu to customize. It imports all your posts and account data automatically.
I ended up going with the brutalist dark theme, it looks very slick. I do not have a subscription for the premium features yet but I am considering it for both the increased image upload size and to add the portfolio and other features on the blog site.

By the way if you were wondering the current upload image sizes for the various subs there's a reply here that may be tricky to find. I would love to see these upfront but I understand that it's subject to change:
20 mb is generous for the free tier and I know how to resize images so I could probably get away with it but having to resize a bunch is kind of a PITA LOL so we shall see.
I think the blog view looks good:
My main suggestion would be for the contact page, it would be very nice to be able to add links to other socials somewhat like a linktree. The amount of times I have tried to find an artist from HIVE and tag them on twitter or instagram and not being able to find their handle which isn't always the same on each platform is too damn high! (sorry for the run on sentence)...
A final suggestion would be for the ABOUT page, it would be very cool to be able to add a longer bio that stays only on Peakd blog and doesn't transfer to our main one because I don't want to write a novel in my banner. Since this is it's own page with lots of space for additional stuff, being able to toggle on latest blog post or some featured images underneath would be very cool too!
Great job and I can't wait to see future improvements, I'm wondering if users could create themes and sell them on the PeakD shop,? Above my paygrade probably but I am already imagining designing my own theme LOL
