DHSOTM is Funny, not Serious

DreamHost Site of the Month contest for DreamHost customers is funny. Many of those people take it way too seriously. Half of them are design school students who’ve fallen in love with Flash or video or those who are trying to make a web site look like a print production. The vast majority of comments are either reactions to recieved comments or simply expect everything to look like their idea of a good design. Unfortunately, most of these cats make mediocre, average designers.
As always, content is king. Less is more (read that as less design is more focused on the content, not on the thin-skinned designer’s ego)
A well-polished turd is still just a turd…

… and right now this one is starting to shine like Yul Brynner without his cowboy hat.
