So, I really like svbtle. It is clean, elegant, and concise.
What I really don't like about it though is the fact it is this 'ivory tower in a walled garden' of sorts. It has been said over and over again that the founder of svbtle, Dustin Curtis has always been very protective of the little ecosystem he has made. And trust me: he has every right to be! A lot of the content on there is very interesting and extremely high-quality. However, the design is so gorgeous and jaw dropping (I'm a HUGE fan of minimalism) it should be shared with the world, and so, here it is!
This is originally the work of Orlando Del Aguila with just a few modifications on top. Thank you Orlando! Be sure to go to his blog and give him some well deserved kudos!
