Off topic, but wow. Wordpress Svbtle? It's actually executed on quite well. I was fooled before noticing the subtle (no pun intended) difference in the Kudos icon shape. I do like the addition of comments, although it doesn't mesh well with the design.
That said, I'm not a big fan of stealing someone's design pixel for pixel. It definitely hurts the Svbtle brand when people mistake WP-Svbtle for Svbtle itself. I wonder what Dustin Curtis thinks.
- Smudge 14y agoI was fooled too until I saw the horribly-positioned Disqus section. (Seriously, all it needs is a "padding" rule.) I may not be much of a Svbtle fan, but I'm also not a fan of ripping-off a brand's design just because you can.
- lylemckeany 14y agoI'm not completely sold on the comment section even being on my blog at this point. Comments don't always create the valuable and lively discussion that I would like. I'll try out your padding rule idea later though. Thanks for the feedback. As far as the wp-svbtle theme goes, I like it for the simplicity. I won't deny that it's a complete rip-off of Dustin's Svbtle. I pointed it out to him on Twitter once and he only favorited my tweet. Maybe he will try to do something about it at a later time, who knows.
- Smudge 14y agoPerhaps he was simply acknowledging that imitation is the highest form of flattery.
