“Broke the Web”? I really dislike headlines like these. Movable Type and blogs didn’t “break” the Web - not now or back then either. Blogging and the blog layout was just one emergent trend of this era. Flashed based sites were another trend that emerged alongside blogs. Folks were still hand coding HTML and FTPing the files to a server. Directory/brochure style sites didn’t go anywhere. Through all these trends the Web has always been there like a good friend. Nothing “broke” it and nothing will for the foreseeable future.
