The fact that this article didn't mention some of the design choices that Japanese bloggers make is kind of disappointing to say the least. One of the things I personally find interesting is the use of callouts that are typically conversational in their tone[0] - these range from simple important notes, to more first-person comments where the author is being engaged with the reader. Likewise, I have seen a lot of technical Japanese blogs be relatively simple in their design, but with a very high emphasis on content presentation. Furthermore, I have observed that many Japanese bloggers will often introduce their content with, "Hey it's me {name} and today I will teach you about {topic}" - which is not something we see in the West. I think it ties in with the general approach of respectful culture of Japan. So, in this context, I think the article is very thin and shows a small glimpse of how the Japanese design and structure their websites.
