My easy took thousands of hours of work

March 26th, 2009 Posted in Ant's Eye View, Things I Like

As you probably noticed, I’ve updated the look and feel here at CommunityGuy.com. In a matter of minutes, I found a great (and free) theme to customize, used MAMP (open source) to be able to modify and test locally, and then updated my WordPress (open source) platform with the new theme design.

Although it took me about an hour to do an impressive update, there were thousands of hours that went into making that ease possible. People from around the world have been working on these three projects. When that dawned on me, I couldn’t help but feel humbled and appreciative.

Nerds from around the world, I salute you.

As far as the new design goes, please let me know what you think and if you see any problems. I never really liked the last theme I had in place, but I’m digging this one! I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Jake I dig this look better than the previous look. The last one was a bit dark. I especially like the tab functionality.

    You also bring up a good point about how much effort that so many people (including myself) take for granted when we use these open-source and/or free online tools for our cloud computing pleasure.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    And yes, go kiss a open source developer. Or perhaps a polite handshake will suffice.
