Oh, and will he be able to change the look and feel, its awfully ugly and anonymous like it is now. Its like he moved from his single home into a skyscraper...

I'd expect him to get revenue. Money. Income. Better than the ad money he got from his own efforts. He's bringing eyeballs and even respectability to Discover. They should reward him.
I'd expect him to get some support. Maybe. I don't know how these things work, but I'd suspect it to be Discover-run servers now, and maybe the bloggers get some infrastructure assistance, and can worry more about writing and less about tweaking the software and responding to reader problems.
And, I speculate. For sure. I don't know. I expect he made a business decision to go with the new home, for business reasons.
Discover is a brand with a pretty good reputation.
