Content v/s style

I've given the subject some thought lately and decied that, while content and stlye can be seperated (like in html and css), it shouldn't be. What made me really think about this is my friends business cards. He called me and said that he was having problems with people taking him seriously and thinks that it is partially his cards. They have a hand drawn logo printed on a home computer; they look bad. This made me think that we are judged on both the style and content of everything we do. In the case of the business cards, all the necessary info was there, but the way the card looked was it's downfall. In the same way, when we write for classes we are judged on both the content of the paper and the style we choose to follow(of that is chosen for us) whethet it be mla, apa, or whatever the journalism style is. These things are just as important as what we say. On the web style is just as important. If the web page looks amature or too dense we just skip in in favor of something that suits our needs. I don't think that there is one particular stlye that should be adhered to, otherwise the world would be a boring place. That's all I have to say for now.
