I think the Internet Archive's UI isn't all that pretty/fashionable, but I never had much trouble finding what I was looking for: In most cases either the prominently places Wayback Machine or the Search does it for me. The categories also seem clear to me. It could be prettier/slicker but it seems quite usable to me for a site of this type with a huge amount of content that has to be organized and made accessible somehow. Seems to be more a matter of fashion or taste than usability to me. Sidenote: On the other hand, the OP's blog is a horrible experience on my mobile phone (or a small browser window): First I have to scroll through the superlong sidebar advertising another blog of the author, then, when I finally reach the article, after two short paragraphs, I have two scroll through another advertisement for this other blog. I almost flagged the submission as blog spam, before realizing that the article continues for a bit after the next advertisement. Edit: Also, the IA's links work without Javascript. Something which can't be said about a lot of modern site, where often basic functionality like this breaks with NoScript.
