Open Source Web Design

I am gradually working my way through all the free templates (on dialup, so over several days). I'm about halfway now. Originally I didn't register, then when I realised I had to in order to rate designs, I did, and went back to the beginning to rate (and occasionally comment on) the designs I had already downloaded (and some I didn't).

It amazes me how many times some have been downloaded yet most have not been rated and even fewer commented on. I think the system should nag users to rate/comment. Designers are people too ;) and everyone likes feedback :)

I've probably posted the most comments of anyone on here (and that's deeply sad).

I really like this design and give a hearty thumbs up. The one thing I would change if using it on my own page would be to change the stark white to a softer color - maybe a barely-off-white or a light grey, fitting with the scheme - in order to make less contrast & strain on the eyes while reading. My site will have a lot of text, and I think it would strain the eyes to read too much as-is. (And this is coming from a person who pretty much loves ANYthing red, black & white.) :)

Anyway - hope you keep designing and submitting! Good job.
