http://jasonsantamaria.com/ http://jasonsantamaria.com/ started using this format slightly before Dustin. I'm not saying anyone copied anyone else - just that it was probably invented multiple places. And of course, before blogs took over the web, a separate design for every page was quite common. Look at JWZ's old "stories" pages for a particularly horrible example. :) http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/toothbrush.html http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/toothbrush.html http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/zombies.html http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/zombies.html http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/license.html http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/license.html

Horrible, but they look great in Netscape 2. Never forget that.

And Khoi Vinh started doing it before JSM in Sept 2007 with a group blog called A Brief Message. It's been dead for about 2 years now but it was being regularly maintained for a while with weekly updates and had interesting guest authors that would also pair up with a different designer to craft the layout of each article. It was not only an interesting experiment, it actually created some really cool thought-provoking writing, like these bits by Dan Saffer and Clay Shirky: http://abriefmessage.com/2007/11/01/saffer/ http://abriefmessage.com/2007/11/01/saffer/ http://abriefmessage.com/2007/09/13/shirky/ http://abriefmessage.com/2007/09/13/shirky/
