WordPress released theirs under creative commons and encourages others to use it. I'd recommend borrowing theirs.

Just a warning - Wordpress.com is using a 90s-inspired snow effect on the entire site. Why they chose to do so is beyond me. I seriously thought I was going blind at first, before I realized what was happening.

White snow effect..... on a white background. Genius.

Was thinking the same thing. Tells a lot about the kind of minds that are at Automattic.

Meh... I kinda like it. The white background mutes the effect, makes it subtle and nice.

Or maybe that just condemns me to the same designer hell.

Yep.

However, it is worth thinking about these moments that come ever so often when there's a new and popular platform and a fart app can make you rich.

As soon as people find that out, it is no longer true as there will be thousands if not millions of fart apps.

But how to recognize the moment when fart apps can make you rich, or more aptly the moment just before that?

Errr... my comment above was meant for an entirely different thread!?!

The time when I could edit it has passed, mod me to invisibility.
