I just want to go on the record as having said, "Yes, we totally ripped-off WordPress' corporate website design." This is low rent, I know. I never claimed to be a good designer - I just work with a couple of really good ones; however, they're on vacation, so for now, I'm on my own.
To give credit where credit is due: the folks at WordPress are good at what they do. Their stuff is aesthetically appealing. So if you find our site to be aesthetically appealing, you know who to thank. But I want you all to know that I didn't just download their stylesheet and craft it into my own: I code everything from scratch - even my work that seems to be a blatant impostor.
Why not just steal their code? Well, I guess you could say that's where I draw the line. It's one thing to imitate someone else's work; but it's entirely another thing to steal it wholesale. Besides, one learns nothing from cut and paste. A lot of work - type fingers, type! - goes into all that style; and just because I can't imagine such perfection on my own doesn't mean I can run around the Internet, borrowing liberally from other folks' code.
Incidentally, if you have no idea who WordPress is, you should know that it is WordPress that makes this website possible. WordPress is an Open Source blog platform. And if you don't have a blog, they're more than happy to host yours for free. Check it out. OK - now I've even gone as far as to plug their products. I'm done being motivated by guilt.
