Oh look! This has to be a sign of Success! Ian made a green version of my blog design! I stole the stylesheet for my first blog design from Stewart of Sylloge.org (I later apologised and was forgiven), and it’s so cool to have other people use my stuff as well. I wonder whether you can put creative commons licences on stylesheets? I think I just wrote: “use what you can” on mine.

I wonder if you can put any kind of lisence on CSS. I highly doubt you can claim “copyright” on a CSS. Who’s to say they were the first one to use .blue_box {background-color:blue} for instance

Oh, but that’s like saying that you can’t copyright a poem because anyone can use the letter “a”! I bet you could, if you wanted!

Naah..is it really? Well…everyone can put a license on anything, I guess. But I highly doubt it would have any legal consequences to license a CSS. Most things are just too common – it wouldn’t make any sense.
I see that some have done it, though:

But it sure wouldn’t have frightened me if I were to distribute a product (a discussion forum, for instance), using the same kind of layout (-the images).

Encouraged by your post, I adapted your design for my wonderful-newborn-son’s weblog. It’s a 2-column-blue-and-orange version of your

Just checked my layout the first time w/Internet Explorer and WIN… and have to see the blue rounded boxes totally scattered.
Whereas your boxes withstand the messy CSS-Interpretation of IE. Why is that? Any ideas?
Jill

I hate explorer.
