If you look at this blog (not just viewing in your feed reader or syndicated on some other site) you will notice that this blog is now sporting a new theme. Variety is the spice of life so I decided to try something new, but not sure I will stick with this theme long term.
I found a site containing wordpress themes that have been converted to work with movable type.
It doesn't seem like the site is structured to work with the style catcher. To get these themes to work with blogs@psu, you need to download the zip of the theme, upload it to your personal webspace, then edit your templates for styles.css to point to the css in the theme you uploaded.
I left a comment on the site and it looks like the theme porter will be making a style archive to make it easier to use these themes with your MT blog.
Some people that have seen my blog have asked about the intellectual property implications of transferring the themes. Seems most wordpress themes include a GPL license, and some say that wordpress themes must be GPL since wordpress is GPL. What about images and stylesheets? Some have taken to including CC licenses with themes. The issue is a bit muddled.
I also found some other MT themes created by Six Apart's Byrne Reese. There is more info about these themes in my post at the blog community hub.

You may find this of interest. It seems to work pretty well. If and when I get some time, I'll kick the tires more.
