This may seem like a no-brainer question, after all, most Weblogs are set up to display 5 to 10 new posts on the home page while a plain Web home page might only have 2 or 3 short articles and information. But WebsiteOptimization.com did a study to find out if this is true. What's interesting to me was that the more popular a blog was, the larger it's home page was. This is, I'm sure, partly due to the fact that less popular bloggers often don't write as much in their blog posts. But it seems that advertising is more popular as well for the more popular blogs, and that increases the page size.

I really like the site Free CSS Templates.org because they offer lots of great free CSS and XHTML based templates available for free. But what other free template sites are out there? Why do you like them? Are there template sites you would avoid? Why?

Web templates are a great way to get a website up quickly. But I always wonder if by using a template I'm dooming the site to look the same as some other site. So even when I have used templates, I've ended up tweaking them as much as if I hadn't used the template in the first place. These days I tend to use templates I've created myself - they act more like frameworks than templates. I use wireframe templates to get the basic structure of a site (2-columns header footer, etc.) and then build the site design inside that. That way the site will truly be unique, but I'm still getting some benefit from using a template. Do you use Web templates?
