is like a crappy version of usatoday. The javascript dropdown menu is hideously large, the layout is cumbersome and really doesn't make much sense in a viewpoint perspective.

It seems like our local paper is more concerned about optimizing ad space on their website than making sure they actually have a readable and user friendly site that people want to visit.

Maybe i'll get used to it, but currently I think it sucks.

Its terrible, it looks like its very "unfinished".

If only they could find a way to include more popup ads. That would make it more super.

they mess with that site more than larussa messes with the line-up..

Among the issues still to be resolved: More forum topics on each page. No, really: that is supposed to be resolved with this redesign. I'm staying on top of that as a major "tweak" still to come.

I thought the old layout was butt fugly, so I'll give them time to work out the bugs with the new one.

only gripe is that it is too white...other than that will have to get used to it or spend even more time over here...

looks awful to me

It's an improvement over what they had before.

I kind of like the content portion of it but that gradient teal background made me gasp in horror.

looking at archive.org it looks like they redesign it once a year. At least they're stickign to CSS layouts these days. It still reminds me of like yahoo.com 10 years ago.
