I'd say that there's a whole lot of effort that goes into marketing, retention, and conversion (as opposed to visual work ). I didn't cover how to drive traffic to a web page; that'd be a great "sister topic&quot

It's funny... there haven't been many photo responses in this HN thread. ;)

I like your version even better. ;) The point of the post wasn't: "un-style everything!" The point was that simple, unadorned words on a page can be powerful and effective.

Don't you think Hacker News does look like that? A lot of people (below) have commented that they like HN because it is just text and links on a page.

I agree. "If additional styling, image, media, or script gives the audience something more - then add it."

So is my blog: http://justinjackson.ca I'm thinking of doing a redesign. ;) To be fair, in both cases I started with a simple text file on my computer. After that I send them as a plain-text email to friends for review. And

It's true. There's a bit of CSS. There's also a tracking script. I also needed a web server to host them, an FTP client to transfer them, plus the entire infrastructure of the web to make this work. ;) So beneath the simplici

Just realized I published this on the same morning that "Video on Instagram" is one of the day's top stories. Interesting irony. ;)

I think it had more to do with the fact that Yahoo needed to start making money with Geocities... and couldn't. The sequence seems to always looks the same: 1. Big social network needs to change privacy settings and TOS in order to mak
