Well, I started with Byrne Reese's port of the cutline theme and have made a bit of progress. I think I'm going for a simplified light weight retro look. For instance, all links are going to be styled the same. That way, people know what to click on. Eric Meyer's color blender is likely to come in handy.
Byrne notes that the original cutline is under a creative commons attribution and share alike license. While I have to confess that my work is derivative, I feel I am going to wander so far away from the original that mine will bear little resemblance. Once I get done, I'll decide whether to link and attribute. At some stage, even your derivations are different enough to become just your own.
