I didn't say that. What I'm saying, the most are trying hard to look
attractive. Look how much paint ladies are using.

And it works!

Of course you'll go for a news to NYT and not for a beauty.

Exactly. The best example is a... toilet paper!

Has the only purpose. Not a very noble one, but is essential to have it.

And they are employing a graphic designers to make damn thing look great!


When I'm looking for tutorial on css or html, I'm not expecting beauty,
but a well organized pages with great contents.

I think I know what you are trying to say here!


;-D


Will be better to leave the subject at the stage, that we have agreed to
disagree with each other on the subject of beauty of web pages.

Their purpose is to demonstrate how to lay a page out using CSS instead
of tables. They are not intended as examples of good design.

Whether you use tables or CSS has nothing to do with how good your
design looks. Sure, you can make great looking designs with tables, and
really ugly ones with CSS. But you can also make really ugly ones with
tables, and good looking ones with CSS.

The way your car engine is assembled doesn't affect the colour of the
car, does it?

It all depends on your audience and the objectives of your Web page
content. My audience is quite satisfied with my plain layout according
to the extensive feedback I receive.
