coming soon

I just registered a domain over the weekend: sibol.in (.in is the extension for India). Right now, it only points to my radio.blog, but I hope to develop a dummy layout for it this weekend, and then start having content on it in the upcoming month. Don't hold your breath. In looking for design inspiration, I found an article espousing the beauty of nature, and its applicability to webdesign. And this all makes sense! Beauty is hard to define or explain, but nature certainly is abundant in it. Why do so many corporate websites use a blue navigation bar with a white body? That's like asking why the sky or oceans are blue! (literally...hehe) However, if the nature => beauty theorem is true, then why haven't there been many green-infused websites? Green is in the trees and grass; it's hidden in tropical waters; it colors many lizards and insects. Or why aren't brown (earth-colored) sites very popular? I'm looking at photos on sxc.hu and flickr for inspiration right now, and I think a non-corporate blue layout that comes off professional is very attainable. Let me look at these a bit longer and meditate. *leave any suggestions for sibol.in's layout, content, or structure*
