I am planning for a complete makeover in early 2007 and before I figure out what I really want .. I thought I would just start documenting blog sites out there that I really really LIKE and blog sites out there that I really really HATE .. This way, I can come back and look at them all and maybe try to come up with something really cool!

In the meantime, making this a regular section in here will help me treat this as an “impulse” posting .. that is .. if something catches my eye immediately (good or bad) I’ll just toss a screen image up in here and post my own personal comments about it.

I first would like to say that this is no way any attempt to put down any designs or designers out there … (look at all my sites in the HART-Empire Network using free templates) .. and nor do I want to become any designer’s groupie or advocate … I read somewhere that “Content is King” but I keep reading everywhere else “Image is Everything” or something like that!

I’ve been thinking of either creating my own template design or commission one free template out for the community. We’ll see!

I thought I would start off with one of the first designs out there that I HATE …

Design.Weblogsinc.com

I hate websites that are not Internet Explorer Friendly .. that’s almost 90% of the world traffic browsers … Your site may have readers with a majority that use another browser – but please .. fix your site so everybody can be able to view your site. When I go to “The Design Weblog” .. I get error messages because the ads don’t show … It’s annoying. I suppose there are many worse designs and sites and PEOPLE out there that make sure an evil pop up messages will advise me to switch to another browser, or gives me a white screen altogether and prevent me from viewing the site altogether.

Enough said on this issue.
