Oh, in regards to daringfireball.net, I have been subscribed to him for a while, but what keeps me from reading it is the dark background (hard on my eyes), and endless lines of texts, so much, that the posts appear to run together. It's a one part aesthetic and one part visual handicap issue for me--primarily the latter. Dark sites hurt my eyes!

I don't mind a pic in every blog post so long as it's tastefully done in a non-obstructive manner. The one's you have above where the photo is floating to the right or the left with the text wrapping around it is a sin in my book--I absolutely hate that style. It's a very newspaper-like layout to me and well, the web is not a newspaper, therefore blogs shouldn't resemble them.

That's just my two and half cents on the matter. ^_^

I agree that pictures shouldnt be used on a blog... unless the pictures arent stupid or relatively crappy. If you have to use a picture then make it something small or eye catching... not a kid with a half grown 'stache licking something.
