Well, i know that browsers are getting more and more sophisticated, and internet links are getting faster and faster than ever, but hey, do remember that because of the evolving technology of today, people are not browsing your site only from computers anymore. People are accessing it through various types of gadgets nowadays, and most of the time from mobile connectivity.
So, putting these under considerations, your fancy blogsite wont be able to load on such mobile devices!. For example, fancy flash menus are not supported on IOS, and tedious Javascript snowflakes which most of you (especially girls) think is cute, normally would crash the browser on blackberry devices. Plus, those fancy add-ons are only nice to you only. Most people go into your blogsite not because of the fancy-ness of the site, but mostly because of it's content.
But anyway, those are just my thoughts when browsing for information from mobile. ;)
