The layout and images on Graphic Design Blender are the reason I'm a subscriber and active reader. When I redesigned one of my own sites, www.JoeMescher.com, I made sure to cut out everything that didn't provide a boost to the end user experience (it's definitely a moving target though!). I wrote a post about reducing clutter from the perspective of a social media blogger (happy to read any comments you may have): <a href="http://www.socialmediacommando.com/website-design/simplicity-is-the-highest-form-of-elegance" rel="nofollow">Simplicity is the Highest Form of Elegance</a> Cheers “Simplicity is the Highest Form of Elegance”…

I like points 1 and 2, and think that should really be expanded even more.

I wrote a whole book on this same subject, called "Save the Pixel" (savethepixel.org), where one of the principles is "Success = Attention / Stuff"... Visitor attention is a finite, fixed resource, which you can't control too much. But *stuff* you can do a *lot* about. Keep up the great work. Couldn’t agree more!
