He didn’t say Dooce’s site was ugly, just that if the fonts didn’t look write on Mozilla, then it was clearly inferior to his cross-platform site. But not ugly, per say.

Unfortunately, those without an aesthetic sense have the sites that work on Netscape 1.0.

Tim shouldn’t be saying ANYBODY’S site is ugly. Using nerd tendencies in an argument doesn’t make one an aesthete.

I like the meshed graphic between the left nav frame and the content frame.

alt text on the graphics could be a bit more useful.

the look is plain, but useful.
a stylesheet could dress it up without damaging the view just by setting some fonts.

at least there aren’t any background graphic textures making the text hard to read!

I wouldn’t jokingly say Tim’s site is ugly. I would announce it as-a-matter-of-factly. Sorry, Tim. There are sites that are beautiful and functional, right? google.com is one such.
