I think it's that time of the year again when I might need to re-construct my website and somehow make it less boring. Every time I visit a "web designer's" website (some are of programmer's - I know that a lot of programmers aren't aesthetically inclined - no pun intended there.), I'm always amaze, perhaps envious. It's not like I can't do it but it's more a matter of finding the time to do it. All the required elements are there and all I need is just a fresh design to keep things a little more interesting.
Over time, I have realized that simplicity is the key to everything regardless if it's programming or web designing, or whatever. The main ingredient of a good website, is how things were put together, not because of the fancy, sparkling fonts (think back when *blink* was cool). My point here being is that, I want my next design to have a faster load time, yet simple enough to carry a good design that's aesthetically pleasing-even to great designers.
