Bloggin' About Bloggin'

Blogs are largely about content, rather than design, which is why those of us who can write competent (if not necessarily inspired) html tend to respect those who crank out lovely code and have something to say (charles? reid?). It's also why I rarely (if ever?) criticize any personal blogger's web design. To each his own (that doesn't mean, of course, I will read it if it fouls my browser with bad code and errors).

That said, semi-professional sites that enforce their view of what my screen size should be annoy me, regardless of the content. We don't all go beyond 800 pixels wide, even if we have the capability. Call me grouchy. But I do find it amusing that a semi-pro site devoted to the topic of blogs would use the altogether appropriate term "s*v*ging" in its introductory essay, even if my friend Atlee would be less amused.
