About this Blogsphere:

This blogsphere attempts to capture, catalog and share resources relating to visual perception of information.

I agree with the author about the importance of visual design. Unfortunately it doesn't come hand-in-hand with the SEO. Visual design usually requires more server-side and client-side resources and has no impact on the search engines.
