Some time in 2008 I approached Ben with a view to taking CSSbake off his hands. It hadn’t been updated in a while and it seemed such a shame to let a good domain name go to waste. Thankfully — because now my time is dedicated to rev.iew.me instead — he turned me down, and insisted we work together to improve the site instead.
So we did. I came on board, found myself labelled a raspberry cheesecake, and started helping Ben and Rachael build up not only the ingredients listed, but implement a new section (the “Cookbook”) and a new layout. With Ben’s creative design genius the site has been transformed, and so I welcome you all to take a look at the new CSSbake!

I remember being so disappointed when seeing hat it wasn’t really going anywhere. It was such an awesome idea and really a shame..! So yeah, way to go on getting it back on its feet.. It looks amazing!

Ooh, that looks so awesome! I’m glad it’s back. :)

I hope it stays active this time! I love the about page :P

I’m so happy to see that CSSBake is back up! I kind of guessed that this was the project you, Ben and Rachael have been working on. ;)

I’m glad that it was brought back up, but I think I’m just *slightly* disappointed with the new design. I think it’s because it’s a bit too dark/drab for me when wanting to look through resources/images. I’m sure I can get used to it, but I think the main problem is that I’m biased, since I’ve been relying on patterntap.
But hopefully I can see some fantastic items from outside of the owners’ blogosphere. Something new :)

I didn’t expect people to rave about my site, I expected people to give me constructive criticism other than telling me about copyright laws. I’ve changed a lot of things to my site because of the reviews I got. I don’t know if you actually read the blog or just skimmed through it but I said I expected the worst & I was frustrated by the contradicting reviews that seemed to be revolved around the color scheme.

@ Tiff: What does that have to do with anything? O.o I am guessing this is a rebuttal comment? LOL
Anyway Jem, that’s fantastic. I long to be that awesome someday, it’s a great source for inspiration!

Wow, I had forgotten all about that site. I stoped checking it when it seemed to die. Glad it’s had a revival, and hopefully it’ll take off this time around.

Looks good!

Wow, I love the ‘Cookbook’ idea!
I’d like it if the main content-y bit had a different colour from the background. Unless it’s my computer that’s topping it from showing it up D:

I think the site looks great :) The design is lovely and the functionality is great too. Good stuff and Happy New Year :)

That site looks awesome. I’ll have to remember it next time I need inspiration for a layout — it’s a great idea!
02 Jan at 9:46 pm
Wow, the site is really creative. I can’t wait to see what else is in store!

I’m glad it’s been picked up because the concept is really cool. Hopefully it will pick up and take off much like rev.iew.me did.

Love that CSSBake is moving along, but Jem don’t you have enough to do?

Cool! Nice work guys! :)
