Looking at most of these designs, it strikes me that most of them are completely unusable for a simple blog. I just don't have that many photos for my website.

Looking at most of these designs, it strikes me that most of them are completely unusable for a simple blog. I just don't have that many photos for my website. It's mostly text and information. I am not sure how many people actually do, or actually want that many visuals on their site. Most of those design just look cluttered to me. They fit the high-end physical product well that requires a lot of visuals to sell, but I am not sure it really meets the needs of the average website out there today.
