It's Just Sad
Things like this are just sad. Lane, I’m flattered that you like Hivelogic, but you can do better.
Thanks for the pointer, Andrew.
And Then:
Lane brings down his site, replacing it with a cordial apology, which wasn’t needed but is, of course, accepted.
If you’re thinking of writing Lane about his site, reconsider. I think he’s getting enough email about this already.
Lane: Don’t let this slow you down. Remember, it’s the content, not the design, that will keep your visitors coming back.
Consider, for example, Ernie Hsiung’s bespattered, antiquated, non-validating, table-based design. We’re all in therapy because of it. Yet it’s insanely popular and truly wonderful because of his content, which is always top-notch.
The design should support and promote your words, no more, no less. So go, design. I’m expecting good things from you.
