Being able to use Photoshop doesn't make you a designer; being able to craft usable interfaces does :) Chris: Designers should figure out how features should work, where best to put this button, where to stick that tab, how to lay out the content so it makes the most sense, etc. The visual aspect is secondary in importance for most sites out there — function being the primary.

And I usually skip posts with too many images. That 2nd sentence is weird. I can't make stuff look good. Find the right colors. Figure out where to put white space. Which font to use. Or size for that matter. Hm. This is confusing. Because I always thought that if there's one thing in life that I can be sure of: it's that I'm not a designer. But I can make stuff work. Build stuff. Make it so people can figure out how to use it. So maybe I am a designer. But what am I supposed to call all those other people that I originally thought were designers? Ha! Already subscribed.

I have suggestion about Creattica's RSS design and usability. You should place images in each RSS post. I usually skip posts that do not have images. I do it because I am subscribed to a great amount of web sites, and each day receive about 200 posts. *Subscribed
