I actually have a number of problem's with Seth's post... Some of the issues I had are summed up nicely here: http://bokardo.com/archives/be-careful-what-you-put-in-a-template/
The other big issue I see is his assertion that Photoshop is the best tool for designing a website, not to mention that changes are faster and easier in a PSD then they would be in HTML/CSS ... I find, and I know I'm not alone, that HTML and CSS are great for prototyping designs quickly, and are much more flexible than a Photoshop document.. especially when it comes to manipulating the flow of text. Also, his idea of not involving the dev team "until you're 90% done with the look and feel of your pages" seems insane ... developers often have lots to offer, not to mention that they can start laying the groundwork for the site if they have an idea of the IA/interaction design before the visual design is finished. As soon as I get my blog back up and running tonight I'm going to post a response to all this....
