I hope you read the post anyway despite the looks of my blog :D and if you are available for hire to redesign it and make it prettier, and won't cost me a fortune, let me know! :)
At the very beginning of the post, before anything else, I said that I am not a designer but a developer. I even admitted that "I may sometimes struggle to choose two colors that fit well together" ! :)
I actually explained that I have written the post on usability, SEO, performance and security aspects of techniques for web typography currently available; I do believe that many "designers", instead, often just care about the looks of what they do, while completely ignoring the issues mentioned in the post. Either because they don't care, or more likely because many, if not most, "designers" just lack for what I can see the kind of basic technical knowledge on usability/accessibility, SEO, performance, and security required to even understand those issues. I don't think that being able to make a stunning layout out of a PSD makes anybody, say, a "complete" designer.
As for the purely aesthetic aspects of the techniques I've mentioned, or of anything related to web design in general, I haven't even touched them, because I wouldn't have much to say.
So I am sad that the very basic layout of my blog has perhaps distracted you -and possibly others- from the contents of that post. I should perhaps get a designer to make a proper custom template for me so to avoid this in the future, since I plan on writing more on "non-aesthetic" aspects of web design :)
