I am a bit of a newbie here. When I download this. Am I downloading a replica of your website or am I downloading something that looks like the one displayed on wordpress theme viewer. It is a bit confusing to me because the preview on wordpress isn’t anything like this site.

After visiting this site for a month, I realize that there's nothing wrong with the amount of white. My head was hurting in general that day. I think we're all used to websites with so much loud design that we fail to appreciate simplicity in design.

Cheers.

Since I’m not running a WordPress blog I’m not allowed to port it to my software. Why don’t you go all the way and release it under the GPL, or at least a Creative Commons non commercial, by attribution licence?

Has anyone ever tested this design to see if it's better than other sites? I'm curious.

I like the alignment of this site, but it may be too white or too clean-cut. Something about this site hurts my head. Although, I'd still play with it and use it. I'll come back and add more if I ever figure it out.

Open Source?

All right, the source is open, however, you have not licensed your theme as open source I am afraid, not even under a Creative Commons license...

Free?

All right, for some uses, your theme is actually free, however, only free as in free beer...

I think that this is a brilliant concept and unique to boot. Pardon me if I have missed Jakob doing this but it's the first time that I have seen a scientific approach to web usability that actually works. I am going to see whether I can apply the styles to an elgg template.
