So, in dealing with the creationist, I’ve been reading a lot of far right blogs and websites, and I have to comment on their design. Chances are, if you see a lot of jumbled text, garishly colored beveled buttons and a plethora of advertising for books you’ve never heard of, chances are you’re visiting a right wing web site.

Why are they like this? Is there something in the conservative mindset that precludes them from doing competent website design, or is the desire to return to a simpler time –in this case 1996– just that strong. Even Radar’s site isn’t immune from this scourge. Despite using an almost vanilla blogger template, he somehow manages to mess it up with a bunch of run-on text at the top of the blog. I’m betting it looks fine in IE.

One of the strangest looking sites has to be this one. Besides being tragically un-funny, it’s just hideous to look at. Who on earth thinks this is an appropriate way to design a site? It looks like the car from the Beverly Hillbillies with graphics stuck in a seemingly haphazard fashion over the site without regard to their actual purpose.

Here’s hoping the conservatives take some remedial web design classes.
