Layout: Neko Mamire v1.0
Click the thumbnail for a full view of the screenshot. This screenshot was taken using IE6 and an 800x600 resolution. This layout also featured a colored scrollbar, which unfortunately you cannot see on this screenshot.
This layout lasted from the launch of Neko Mamire, on November 27th, 2003, until the second layout was uploaded on June 28th, 2005. Because the name of the website was Neko Mamire ("Covered in Cats"), I wanted to make a layout that was also, well, covered in cats! The resulting layout was kind of cheesy and kind of tacky, but overall, I kind of liked it. It was pink, and cute, and it fit Sakaki's personality very well. I also love the image of Sakaki that I used in this layout - it's one of my favorite images of her, and the expression on her face is like the perfect distillation of her personality.
