NoScript: Your _whole site_ is blank. No content whatsoever.
It took me a while to actually consider the possibility that there's a problem with JavaScript (or - rather without) and not a slashdot/HN effect, slowing down the server to a crawl.
I understand degraded experiences if I turn off Javascript. But a completely empty page is surprisingly bad.

Edit/follow-up (sorry for the noise): Okay, it's a combination of user error and Google mess. When I went to that link the first time for some reason my NoScript setup allowed everything on blogspot.com. Which bypasses the sites noscript tag and serves me a JS only page, containing nothing but script tags and a stylesheet - from another host, blogblog.com. That was _not_ on my white list.
If I _disable_ JS for blogspot.com I get
This site requires JavaScript.
You can still visit a non-dynamic version of this blog.
I'm talking about his blog, right? That's - a webpage. Dynamic content maybe, CMS if you like.
It's 2011 and JS is source code that you download from a couple of places on the internet, put in a bowl and execute it in a 'will it blend' kind of style on your machine. In one of a a number of different sandboxes.
There are valid reasons for not trusting every random script. Let me turn your response on its head instead:
It is 2011. You should be able to either give me ~something~ ('Sorry, you have no JS enabled and I won't give you any content without enabling it first') or, better because it's 2011 and all, have a site that actually shows the (Interesting! Cool! I'll come back to check that author's site again and know that this is a meta discussion here) content.

I wouldn't spend time getting a webapp to work without javascript (a webpage is another matter, as is a cms).
