Sometimes a web design just stops you. Matthew Mullenweg points to Orderedlist.com’s new 2.0 design. Notice the curved navigation bar at the top of the site!

WordPress is not my current content management system. However, there is an awful lot to like about it. I’ve just run across the explanation of customizations and modifications that Shelley Powers made within her own copy of WordPress. As usual, her explanation is well-written and, I believe, useful to anyone who maintains a weblog with any of the popular tools.

Matthew Mullenweg reports that two more rather prominent names in weblogging have switched to WorldPress. They are:

• Christine of Big Pink Cookie
• Molly of Molly.com

Quite an illustrious group of web designers discuss the notion of colors for visited and unvisited links at CollyLogic. Who knew there could be so many possibilities and so many opinions?

One of the reasons I don’t experiment more with web design is the concern I have for appearing to steal techniques or features from others. While learning CSS and XHTML, I find myself drawn to a variety of techniques. I’m never quite certain what should be considered a technique available to everyone and what should be considered a design that is proprietary to a specific designer.

Andy Budd points us to Pirated Sites. I had no idea that the stealing could be so blatant.
