I really like that site. color scheme, navigation, and style. I'm new to web coding and I'd like to know how I can use this site's code as a template for my own experimental site.
Is that even legal? How can I view his source (he's using css) and chop it up to my liking?

im no pro at webdesign, but i like the look of it
You can look at the CSS by going to Edit, View Source, and seeing the link to the .css file:
http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/pivot/templates/imarco4.css
It looks like he's got some JavaScript files in there also, so you might need to take a look at them 1/22/2006 1:57:00 PM |

I see there's a copyright at the bottom. Is that for the code?
Also, Can anyone explain what part of the code allowed him to use the 1 large picture in the background across all parts. I like the large picture with everything else overlaying it with a little bit of transparency. Can someone explain how that's done, or provide a specific link? 1/22/2006 2:05:08 PM |

very, very nice site
for the background images, he probably just chopped up the original in photoshop and played with the transparency
check the css for something like background:url(xxxxxx.jpg); 1/22/2006 2:15:14 PM |

People steal bits of code all the time.
If you're going to use it for some commercial purposes, I would ask. If you're going to use it for a client and sell it as your own, well, don't do that. If you want to use it to run your blog, nobody gives a shit. 1/22/2006 2:28:32 PM |

You might or might not like the design of my website. I myself do. A ridiculous amount of time has gone into making this site into what it is right now and I'm really proud of the result. Therefore the answer to this question is: no!!! I have created two freely available Pivot Templates (find them on this site or on Pivotstyles) for anyone to enjoy but this template is mine. If I find you ripping anything from here I'll hunt you down, bad-mouth you in postings and submit your site to pirated-sites.com, the hall of shame of the internet. If you want me to design something for you there's always the possibility of sending me an email and who knows we'll work something out." |

What's sad is thinking that somehow your "hard work" entitles you to owning something unique and thinking that people aren't going to at least imitate you, and that this is somehow an insult.

Random Facts I am looking for an internship/job for this upcoming summer. Please contact me if you represent a company or organization that would be willing to employ me. My website has been featured on the popular commandN video podcast. I have been on Slashdot.org thrice; once from submitting an article, once for TheModWiki.org and another time for Gmail Now Has RSS. I have written many articles, guides and reviews that have gained tremendous popularity. After seeing the quality of this website and my writing, several companies have been offered me jobs (3 so far) all of which I have unfortunately had to decline due to school work. I used to be a Computer Engineering major but realized my interests lie more in CM. I have won 3 contests at a large LAN party event sponsored by Directron.com 1st place, 3rd place Computer Modification 1st place System Building Race I received the 16th ranking on Futuremark’s 3DMark03 Hall of Fame with a highly overclocked Shuttle SN84G4v2. I have been soldering since I taught myself when I was 7. I am an accomplished PhotoShop user. I started with Photoshop 4 and now use CS2 (9.0). Collectively from all the forums I post on, I have a post count of over 3,000. I own the 2G (sold) and 4G iPods as well a 4GB Nano. I created a movie for Campus MovieFest in Jan. 2005. I started a computer modifications website in Jun. 2005 called TheModWiki.org. TheModWiki.org has a Top 2000 Stanford Folding Team. The first computer I really used was a Macintosh Centris 650… that I took apart a while after. My current favorite drink is a tie between Coca Cola with Lime, RedBull, and Bawls. I lost a Sony DSC-T1 camera on an airplane heading to Greece. That camera was replaced a month later with a Sony DSC-W1. My favorite website is Binary Bonsai. I believe Mint and Flickr Pro are the best examples of money put to good use. I have a massive collection of photos on my Flickr account. I am a Binary Bonsai K2 Support Forums admin. I am a firm supporter of the Mozilla Firefox browser and have donated to Mozilla for Firefox. My name appeared on the Firefox advertisement in the New York Times December 16th, 2004 on pages A34 and A35. I love the K2 WordPress theme by Michael Heilemann and donated to support its development back when K2 was in its alpha infancy. I love exotic cars. I got to do a few laps in this amazingly fast 400HP Mazda RX-7 at Road Atlanta. The widget I use the most is the Oxford Dictionary, mainly for spell checking. I’m not afraid to ask questions. Kevin Rose has got to be the coolest tech person. I used to watch TechTV all the time, but then G4 bought them and all the good programming vanished. I keep up with the TechTV crew via TWiT, Diggnation, Systm, TheBroken, FTS and CommandN. I play air hockey almost everyday after classes with my roommate Chris Maxwell. Top Gear and Fifth Gear are my absolute favorite shows, but they are on British television stations so they are hard to find. I have built way too many computers and repaired even more. This is me and my workspace at Georgia Tech. I think Bluetooth is the most worthless technology. RSS and AJAX are the best things to hit the web since Google. I have overclocked my Mac Mini. I actually purchased Windows XP. I regret it. Other than Google, I visit Digg many many times a day. " | ]1/22/2006 8:14:09 PM |
