One example, “The Blizzards” website, looks good yes… But what’s a good website if A. it isnt remotely cross-browser compatible (view their page using IE 7/8 or Opera), B. on main-stream browsers, half the stuff on the site doesn’t work properly.

1. Put some roll-overs on links and buttons… You can’t tell what you are looking at statically and what is user-interactive.
2. Use lightbox or shadowbox to play your embedded flash videos… For example, you have 9 videos you want to show off? Put a small thumb, and when you click on the small thumb, you launch a full-sized video. Minimization is far sexier in modern web practices.

Making a site look good is worthless if it doesn’t function properly. Nuff with the good looks and let’s get some actual functionality. Myspace layouts are dead people.
