How to design for yourself

Rule #4: Stop comparing

There is always someone better than you. Always. But remember: That person’s first few websites sucked. Not only did they suck, they might have been the worst website ever created. So why are you trying so hard to have the best website ever in one shot? You won’t get better unless you start making your own sites.

That rule hit me right in the gut.  The second article is just as true and much more amusing entitled

No one cares about your website

Those of us in the web design and development fields have a total crush on ourselves.  As I was called the other day, we are divas.  Our design senses are keen and superior.   Our development skills witty and crafty.   But there’s one huge problem to this love affair.

No one cares.

As they often say content is king, and I have often been guilty of the design over content bug though I try to get over it now by posting often and making minimal changes to a theme I currently like.  If you have any other interesting articles hit the comments.
