Well done!!

and echoing Lethe on the descriptions omg WELL DONE LOL

A few things I was thinking:
1. Perhaps there should be a link back to wmw at the bottom of the page (I mean, it's not strictly necessary, but just to link everything back together, you probably want it)
2. Have you considered having hover effects on each thumbnail? It feels as if something *should* happen on hover. This is of course personal preference and if looks-wise you prefer it without that is also perfectly okay, just wondering :D
3. Now that I was looking at it again, I was wondering if the black borders on the pictures in the main page weren't too extraneous - until I realized it's the same black as the vertical bar and the text, okay, so that's good! I was playing around with it though and I realized that they look more connected to the rest of the layout if they are thicker than 1px. At about 3px they become about as thick as the bold text and, at least to me, look like they belong more with the rest of everything. Personal preference though, if you like the thin borders that's okay too :D

(and sorry, I couldn't identify that font :<)
Thank you! :D :D

1. ROFL I can't believe I forgot to put the wmw.org link in the footer! I think I was just like "HOMG GOT NEWISH DESIGN DONE YAAAAAS" and uploaded it xD

2. I wouldn't mind a hover effect! I just...didn't know what would be appropriate, to be honest. I thought about having the images display at opacity: .5 normally and then change it to opacity: 1 when hovered over, but I didn't want any visibility issues. What do y'all think?

3. In my browser, the layout thumbnails have a darker blue background framed in by the thin black border, and then there's a box-shadow underneath them, so that the overall effect is a thick blue border with a little black shadow under the edge, like a sticker popping up slightly from a page. That was my intention, at least--are you seeing the thicker, darker blue background or the box-shadow at all? (If not, I might have messed the CSS up somewhere xD)

Heeee it happens, it happens. :P

For the hovers: I was thinking they could zoom in slightly (css3 transform) or the border could become thicker, maybe. Yeah, I would stay away from opacity for that same reason - you want to be able to display your sites super cool!

I think I am seeing things correctly (at least like the screenshot you have on top). Nevermind then :P
