I thought this was going to be about all the sites on Tumblr that read like the copy was finalized on a napkin, make you hunt for tiny navigation arrows, and yet end up being full of some pretty cool stuff that shows up in Google results.

Edit: It's still kind of a cool idea anyway. I recently contacted a guy about his Perl-driven site to ask him how the plumbing worked, just because it looked like it was still going strong based on code that was written in 1995 and maintained to this day. There's something cool and comforting about seeing sites that aren't powered by Node or Wintersmith or some other zippy new thing--especially if they have become really popular for some reason or another.
