I'm reviving this old thread. There currently is some discussion about this problem on LWN.net: http://lwn.net/Articles/258857/

This really needs further attention, as there are some important disadvantages to not using salting.

I am using serendipity 1.2 branch svn version and the Bulletproof blue style template. Now I noticed that the text was actually rather small, with the footer text even almost unreadable. It seems this is because the font-size is set to only 69% in the blue_stype.css file for the #wrapper style. Now ...
