I’ve been thinking about the next wave in Web design a lot lately, and this morning it hit me: it’s the blogs.
Most blogs stand as silos — either unique by themselves or within a larger site but not really integrated into that site (beyond, possibly, standard headers and footers — see the LLS Tax Policy Blog for an example.) But in many cases, the blog gets more traffic than the usual corporate stuff on Web sites. Next logical step: why not make the blog the home page, and sideline the corporate stuff?
Some Home Pages are already starting to display the latest blog headlines/slugs, and this changes the design of these pages. More space is allocated to blog content, and other content is slid to an edge (often, as I’ve ranted about before, in tiny text).
It’ll be intersting to see (if I’m right about this trend) how this develops.
