Rusty Foster's article - and the subsequent discussion on the Online News mailing list - got me to thinking. All this discussion makes me wonder why my website looks the same, day after day. Only the content changes. I am wondering how to approach it so that I could have a new look each day, with a consistent style, but something fresh for people to look at and enjoy. Something like this. I am daunted, though, by the mechanics. It takes a long time to come up with a decent design; doing it daily would be a task. It would be nice to have a nice development environment that would create clean, liquid design visually, allowing me to stream my content into assigned areas. I haven't seen any such tool (doesn't mean it doesn't exist). But more, I am wondering about the purpose of such an approach. How would I use the elements of variable web site design? Would it be to create focus and draw attention to more important items, as a traditional newspaper does with its front page layout? Much to think about...
