    Thanks! You’re definitely right, calling it a copy is an over simplification. It’s just that picture of them side by side gets me every time..

  3. hi i submitted a comment a while back regarding how to speed up my twilight eclipse site’s loading time considering the fact that we utilized the same theme at that time and someone placed a comment responding to it on my site weeks ago – if that was you I simply wanted to say i am grateful, and if it was not you then i am sorry to bother you, but thanks anyhow! :)
