Disappointed With DreamHosts SOTM

Remember...
Bitter words are good medicine…
Sweet words carry infection.

Some of the comments left on the DreamHost Site of the Month page have left me feeling a little disappointed. When I added my site, I though it was so great that it would win this little contest hands down. Why? Because I'm proud of this site!

I want visitors to think that the features on this site are cool. I know my idea of cool and someone else's idea of cool differ, eg. flash sites really annoy me, the same with sites designed using Macromedia. If you don't have the latest version installed it's a pain in the proverbial waiting for the updates. Although I must admit, a few of these sites ARE cool, and I wish I knew how to create them, but time is the necessary ingredient and just don't have enough of it.

A little bland? WTF? Flash? Animated gifs?

Some of the comments were nice, and thankyou to those people who left a positive response. But really, in the end, it only achieves a link, and a positive review if it wins, and it's all a matter of perspective anyway. I like rather bland looking sites: there's a certain "zen" feeling about a site that doesn't try to be something it's not. Simplistic and minimalistic are adjectives that come to mind. Bland? Is he referring to the content? I take that as a personal attack: my life is anything but bland.

"Children often bother us grownups, especially those of us who care about the rules of good behavior. Even Christ's disciples became upset when children were brought to him. When children come, things happen. They want to get their hands on things, to play, to have fun. They want to be rambunctious, to be noisy. They want to be children."
