    I want to modify this design, really I do. But it is already elegant, witty and, well, perfect. Congratulations.

    Works well as it is but is asking to be personalised.

    Very nice.

    I really like this theme — particularly the colour-changing.

    I’m not wild about the colour for blockquotes — too violent for me.

    Also, showing ALL the pages in the tabbed menu is too much (I have dozens), so I had to hide the lower-levels. I’ll probably convert it to drop-down.

    I’d love to change the skyline so that it’s my town. A tool to do that would be really neat (generate stylized skyline from photos, then spit out headers… there’s a market for that, I’m sure).

    Cheers! Well done.
