#42What I find amusing is the fact that quite a few people didn't even bother to change the designer blurb, which to me suggests they know absolutely f all about design and hints at why they find it necessary to copy in the first place.
Yeah, like most of all people who claim to be designers, they're not designers. They're pixel-pushers. They don't know design, they know Illustrator and Photoshop.

#45he does mind, which is why he posted this; he's staking original ownership on this design in a humble way
I remember, back in 2008, I directly asked him if I could make something like his page and showed him a screenshot of my version.
Mine had a keyboard and a pencil instead of my face.
He said to go ahead. At the end I didn't, but that's a different story.

#46I wonder if there is a free Wordpress theme out yet based on this design..
Re: Over 20 designers have copied my website and I don't mind
#47It feels like maybe your site was ripped off and placed on a "free" templates site, where upon others copied it?
I mean I could be wrong, it just might explain the high number of rip offs.

#48I'm wondering how you've found about them?
"Over the years, people have informed me of websites that they felt looked similar to mine."

#49Do these kind of personal sites help in finding/attracting leads? (for programmers)

#50I wonder why most of those who copied his website are Indians
Filterbubbles perhaps? I never saw a website like this before. But he says he was featured a couple of times, so maybe the website was famous on some communities, but seldom seen on others.
That's not the real reason. There's no shame here in copying even if it's a total ripoff.
We copy assignments,lab reports,project work , designs , everything. We get the job done.
Originality ? Who gives a shit.
