I won't charge you guys anything, partially because I wouldn't anyway, but also because then I would feel more guilty about it taking so long. I know, I know….

I know for myself there are definitely sites that I won't bother looking at because the design bugs me.I wonder what the gender orientation is for most retail web sites?

Well, of course we use them. And we chat with friends on them, too. Can they do other stuff, too?

(Just ask Google). The point this article was making is that there seem to be general differences that have been observed between the sexes in their perception of what contributes to a sites appeal or useability. As a web designer it was interesting to me, and it's an important thing to take note of even for personal sites like blogs, if you want to make it easier for your readers. In most of the design of my theme (including color choices, etc.) I tried to make it as easy to read as possible. I'd like to trim it down a little bit (the sidebar stuff and the tag cloud) to really improve it more, but I don't have much time for that right now.
