   I also quite like the pink, I think I would have gone for a tad brighter shade though. This looks more like purple to me! :) 

   You should make some dif­fer­ent col­ors­chemes that you switch between ;)

   Although for com­plete­ness sake, shouldn’t you do the favicon as well ;)

   Ooops — for­got about the favicon. Dump you cache and refresh — should be all lovely and pink now!

   I really like the way the pink is done on here. Nice way to raise some awareness.

   While I am 110% behind rais­ing brest can­cer aware­ness I am, as a man aware that more of us are dia­gnosed with pro­state can­cer a year than women are of breast can­cer. How­ever there is very little aware­ness of this and even less fund­ing for pro­state can­cer research.

   I’ve pinked as well. I think it’s a great way to raise aware­ness. I really dig the subtle changes, Mark.

   For an inter­est­ing twist on the topic of the “pink­ing” of breast can­cer aware­ness, please see the link on my web­site, http://www.honestmedicine.com, to the art­icle “Wel­come to Can­cer­land: A Mam­mo­gram Leads to a Cult of Pink Kitsch” by Bar­bara Ehrenreich.

   This art­icle will give you a dif­fer­ent per­spect­ive on the topic! 

   Sin­cerely,

   Hi Mark

   Lovely idea to raise aware­ness mate, it also demon­states the flex­ib­il­ity of CSS.

   Have you thought about cre­at­ing a Just Giv­ing account to obtain dona­tions? If you set one up I’d only be too will­ing to contribute. 

   It seemed to work quite well for my com­pany when we arranged a cof­fee morn­ing in aid of Mac­mil­lan Can­cer Research

    This is a great idea Mark!  My new site (cur­rently in devel­op­ment) is going to be white + color, and so I may do some­thing simil­iar in the future too (have Red ver­sion for World Aids day perhaps?) 

    I also find it inter­est­ing how the black bar at the top gives the site a whole new feel (in addi­tion to the col­our altereation — I like it!)

    Nice pink. Mark, you’ve finally flickred — I look for­ward to more tales of super­mar­ket arguments :)

    Thanks Chris. Yep, finally flickred although my account has cur­rently been hijacked by the mis­sus and pho­tos of her flower design course. I’ll try and doc­u­mentmy next super­mar­ket argu­ment to the fullest!

    Love the pink for Octo­ber make over, its inspir­ing me to do my web­sites, although I’ve prob­ably left it a little late, plus I’m scared I mike like it too much and have to redo by busi­ness cards :)

    Nice tint for pink. Actu­ally, just to men­tion, that we have this same “Breast Can­cer Cam­paign” thing going on Fin­land. In case you did’nt know where Fin­land is it’s Between Sweden and Rus­sia, also Nokia was foun­ded in this little peace of land. ;)

    Breast can­cer is so dan­ger­ous. Aware­ness and peri­od­ical pre­vent­ive med­ical checkup are very import­ant. Good idea from you to sup­port the pink for october.
