Browsing the web all day some trends really start to stand out. Designers seem to be under the misapprehension that white space is bad and that they need to fill it.
Of course in the Joomla world we have all those wonderfuly useless eye-candy gadgets (oops I meant to say modules) to chose from to fill that white space.
But do they add to the site or does the site become so busy that your visitor misses your important content?

As a co-founder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc I've never been known to be lacking an opinion or being too afraid to express it.
Despite what some people might think I'm a shy and modest man who doesnt like to blow his own trumpet or boast about achievements.
But it seems that no blog exists without an "About" page so rather than talk about what an amazingly great guy I am and list all the things I've achieved (and failed at) in life from my Cycling Proficiency Test in 1976 to winning an award for the "UK Individual Contribution to Open / Source" in 2005 here are some links.
