@Gray: Oh, I just took a quick look. Too bad there aren’t any metblogs from Norway (yet).

As one of the Metrobloggers, I am so happy about the switch to WordPress! Plus the new look isn’t so shabby either

@Runa: not for my city, it seems mixed (Kuala Lumpur).

Thanks for the mention! I write for the Denver Met Blogs and have been waiting, praying and hoping for the WP day to come. Let me tell you…things are so much more awesome! Woot and stuff!

You're right. The site looks fantastic. By the way, I noticed the Iditarod (running now) has a series of WordPress blogs online. Follow the Last Great Race to Nome on WP!

I read about Metblogs a few days ago, and I think it’s great that the contributors write in english

Oh man, you just had to link to the cities flash presentation. I came across that on Stumbleupon and thought it was rather interesting. As for the move from MT to WordPress, congrats to Metblogs.

Their div titles could use some padding-left as they don’t look right being aligned to the left edge like that.

The top portion of all the blogs looks great and I enjoy the post footers. However, I think they could of increased the font size of the content by a pixel or two.

Also, it looks like the focus is really on the content, but I think it sucks to go from city to city / country to country and not see any real changes between the blog designs.
