Garcia has a green border on top and a Flickr gallery. Actually Garcia's site looks better than coda. I think Garcia just made it look better. Kind of like the Japanese. They copy the automobiles from the U.S. and redesign it to look different, better and economical.

Check back later..... Copying the whole thing is a bit tricky but grabbing snippets of CSS i have no problem with. To claim a peice of code as exclusively yours would be idiotic.

Indeed there is however a line to be drawn if you've gone through all the time and trouble (tons of both) to get your site looking and working exactly as it should, then only to have it copied verbatim by someone else.
