sorry about that...amazing site though; you guys are impressive!
drusenko
oh, i meant nasty as in "kick ass", and thanks.

Ah, bringing designing power to the people. That's great.

What's with the shutdown speculation? I can't imagine they'd shut it down given that it's not a competing content site and they're bringing out an API, would they?

One interesting thing to note (that wasn't mentioned in the article): The design is based on an SVG template that is modular & rasterized on the server to produce any color variation desired. We can also perform SVG layer-effects on raster images (Lighten, Darken, Screen, Multiply) -- which is how we get the patterns to match the background color, for example.

We'll be back-porting that feature to Weebly as well -- picture a web site template that is image-based yet still lets you choose any color combination desired.

Oh man, powerful stuff. Your website editor is starting to compete with my image editor : P

Many congratulations to you guys.

Awesome stuff guys.

But you need to make it known the next time you're hanging with the Hammer.

I thought a color on the web is just a triplet of bytes (RGB)?

OK, just kidding, but I have no idea what you have been talking about...

Putting MC Hammer into the demo vid was both surprising and ingenious. Great job guys!

I'm not sure if that means the Weebly guys have come up in the world, or if Hammer has sunk to a new low...

Hahaha! How did that even happen? M.C.Hammer? Where did you find him?

This is good, real good.

Great idea, killer execution.

I definitely see this going places. Amazon job, guys :)

Nice, make it a Weebspace

Very nice. I would just love to see it generalized. An open way for any social site to use Weebly as their profile editor.

I don't think it really works in my Browser (Firefox on Ubuntu 7.04). I couldn't drop the widgets, and there was no choice of corner styles.

This is very slick what you have done! As opposed to most MySpace customization websites, I don't feel dirty while I'm using your system. Haha. Kudos to everyone involved!
