remix others' themes
It took some time to realize how Roda remixed my Agave theme for Bear Blog. I'm stoked having found something I enjoyed making out in the wild. I hope additional creatives find this adaptation inspiring enough to remix themes including, but not limited to, my own.
Funny how Sylvia's recent post, Culture of crediting, addresses a similar lookalike blog situation. While credit helps, I find it okay for others to take my CSS without acknowledgment. Like how she describes it, being found useful enough to copy or learn from is a sufficient reward for my work. Should I even consider it my own CSS with how parts or the whole could, in theory, organically emerge within other minds? Either way, parts of her CSS not only augmented my theme, but now live on elsewhere too. May others "learn from it, use it, and remix it" well.
As in copyright speedruns decay, people believing how ideas can be "stolen" misses the chance to appreciate, encourage, and collaborate with others like above. May creators larger or smaller than you benefit from your grace as you choose to "uplift through exchange".
Roda's footer asks, "Could I mythologize the I?" Could remixes mythologize remixers?
