I recently found the blog of Joshua Clanton. You might want to check it out, like me he likes to sing the praises of content over design.
Thats not to say that we don’t appreciate good design when we see it, but more that we can understand that the majority of sites have a role to play and that it is all too easy for a site’s designer to get caught up in good aesthetics rather than making sure that the design optimises the sites’ performance.
Anyway, its a great blog with some great pieces, take a look.

Thanks for the link!
Like you said, it’s not that I don’t love good design, but that content is a website’s primary purpose. When the design supports the content, great! When it tries to be stylish at the expense of the content, not-so-great.
