What if…

…Microsoft ripped off Apple’s website? I was wondering the same thing today, and being bored out of my mind, I decided to put together a mockup of that in Photoshop. It took me about 2 and a half hours, but it turned out quite nice. Behold:

Microsoft Website + Apple Website

New Theme?

It seems that just about every web designer out there has released WordPress themes, so I thought it would be interesting to have a try at making one. It will most likely be a minimalistic theme, which I feel are lacking amongst all the fancy themes out there. I already have a name for it, and a pretty good idea for the design. I won’t reveal too much today, so stay tuned for a full post about the upcoming theme. And before all you cheapskates ask, yes it will be free.

    Yeah, I didn’t mean it to be “haha” funny. It’s nice that some people found it interesting/humorous. See if you can spot all the geeky in-jokes =)

    Crap, just noticed. It gray on the side doesn’t go all the way in this post. Not sure if it’s just me though.

    Oh yeah. Sorry about that. I started modifying the theme at like 2 am last night, and I missed a few places. Fixed as of now. I’m glad you like the modifications, I felt they were needed to give the site a little more structure.

    @Eternal: I just replied.

    @Alec: Thanks for the props. It seems like everybody’s liking the changes. I tried a new approach this time around, realigning instead of redesigning. The previous layout was fine and all, but the two sidebars were too small, and they made the layout too wide.
