Today I bumped on the Smiley Cat website, where Christian Watson has a showcase of header typography for weblogs.

And if you’re at the site, make sure to check the other showcase, one of comments design.

The last time I was reading an article on Engadget.com (a blog I was enjoying a lot in its early days), I was shocked by the amount of advertising on it. A whole bunch of Google Ad packs, and next to that there’s the overload of Weblogs Inc. promotional material.
So I made this scheme, to visually compare the use of space:

Black are paid ads, and gray is property of Weblogs Inc. (Click for full view)

People often come across a web hosting service only when a business opportunity requires them to do so. That is when they first hear of domain registration and other aspects of hosting.

Neophytes often tend to pick a photoshop design for their site and consider things finished there.
