Can a blog rank with 90's design?

Buy the blog first. I would suggest if you haven't done it yet. Get full controls of it and check for yourself what is what.

And also I would suggest that you should talk to a web developer. Many sites design can't be altered but then can be bettered according to the present needs.

I agree. Many themes can't be changed but they sure can be customized according to the user's need.
