Howdy Group, 'Tis a shame indeed. I have just about notified Dan and passed him the URL as well. There was a similar site(like Simplebits) from a guy in the US called Joey a few days back! Dan didn't take it up with him ... So I guess its his call at the end of the day.

No 'permission given' information anywhere, be it the About page or at least some commenting in the HTML or CSS! I can accept that sometimes designers see a CSS layout that they want to base their site on, probably because I personally borrowed heavily from someones zengarden entry that I really really liked the look of, but I asked permission before I even started on it and even then you'd barely recognise it from the original. I just wanted to use it as a good starting point to work from and it taught me a lot of little tricks that I had no idea about! But ranada.com is just a blatant attempt at making him/her self look like some kind of uber-css wizard by completely copying someone elses design! Times like these I think a site hacking is an acceptable option...

I cannot not believe this.. How can someone be so dumb and lazy to do such a blatant rip off. Is this for real? I just had to post this, it boils my blood to see this sort of thing! http://www.simplebits.com/ http://ranada.com/home.xhtml Cheers Chris Blown http://hinterlands.com.au ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ ***************************************************** ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
