Svbtle and Obtvse
Striking contrast in the statements about whether Svbtle will ever be available to everyone: “The goal is simple: when you see the Svbtle design, you should know that the content is guaranteed to be great.” and “Just wait until Svbtle is finished and open to the public.”
I just can’t bring myself to be interested in anything running on Ruby on Rails, though.

Re: Svbtle and Obtvse
Michael, I read about these two while I was in the airport yesterday. I’m finding it very interesting how many bloggers are going for simple designs, and just-as-simple blogging engines. I’m fiddling my way through a redesign of mistersugar.com, using the Bootstrap CSS framework, with Txp naturally, but as pared down as I can go.

Re: Svbtle and Obtvse
I want to delve into Bootstrap sometime soon. Gina Trapani said it made putting together http://narrowthegapp.com/ very easy.

Looks like basically the example site.

Re: Svbtle and Obtvse
Matt,
Gina is a great programmer, but she said used Boostrap because she had no design skills. :)
I think it was near the end of http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-google/138

Re: Svbtle and Obtvse
If you check out Bootstrap design galleries, you see a lot of common stuff, like the bar across the top. A few sites actually do stand out, but one very common theme is, “I just need this up, fast.” I have used it for that purpose and it was incredibly fast to work with.

Same here. Surely there’s a PHP version of Subtle or Obtuse or whatever they’re calling it.
And Bootstrap is cool but I think Zurb Foundation is awesomer.
My TXP sites from now on will be built on it.
