Reopening a new thread on this topic. It was very informative to see the previous thread.
Here is an example though I just noticed my footer is not valid and will fix CSS. What's new is a visual archive and a forum. Now looking for a more robust "contributor profile" and listing the "talent" solutions.
In what way does your site not look like a blog?

From Wikipedia: A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
The only thing your site doesn't have is the 'reverse chronological order' ...
Really, trying to define a blog is just semantics. When does a site become a blog or a blog become a site? What about a site that has a separate blog, or a blog that has so many widgets that it becomes a site?
The term blog (or site for that matter) is just another over-used word that will become diluted until it loses meaning; e.g. so many swear words that can have opposite meanings depending on the context.

all good points. what i am rightly/wrongly referring is divations from a "generic" blog format. layouts that don't place the usual content in the usual way.
and i am referring to the "home page" layout because as you link into posts/tabs, etc., the usual content typically begins to reveal itself. is this better?
just looking for creative refinements in presentation on home page. not "necessarily simplify" home page i.e., less content at first glance — though many generic home pages DO have a great deal of content which can overwhelm.
a site with a lot of content on home page but creatively arranged is veerle's blog
