The interesting thing about copying old VK layout is that there are some parts available as actual HTML+CSS you can poke into with devtools, like http://web.archive.org/web/20111128070353/http://vkontakte.ru/durov, but the most interesting pages are only accessible with an account. So I have to rely on screenshots for those. Sometimes on very compressed (jpug af? is this a word?) screenshots.
Anyway, here's a mostly pixel-perfect copy. I need to check the layout inside posts still, and the form is certainly incorrect.
The form. I don't remember what it was like in the before-microblog era, but after-microblog it was right below that block header, like this. There was also an intermediate form where it said "X posts" next to "Wall" in the header itself.
And it's also supposed to be collapsible. This is a neat feature.
