@Matt –

It’s a WordPress site, with a paid theme by Press75.com, and then modified on top of that for SEO and customization purposes.

Time to install WP and theme ~10 mins, but I have spent probably 15 hours tweaking and customizing PHP and CSS to make it just right…

Glad you like it!

Max that’s an awesome site – good stuff. You say thats only a few hours old – bloody magnificent. Out of curiosity what did you build it in? (What technologies? Open source?) I would love to do something like this for a few organisations I know, and if I could do something this great in such a short time, then all the better.

WOW what a small world. I was in the mall last night and seen that store for the first time, thought it was interesting. Heard the twilight zone tune when I read my codesqueeze rss feed.

Hope your trip to SF was good!

Max - Nice site. This is a really great example of how tech people can reach out to help others and make a powerful difference! If others are looking for volunteer opportunities, check out Idealist.org or contact NTEN - a community of nonprofit techies and accidental techies. Or, of course, you could contact me. I'm certain that I could find something in the legal aid world.
