Late Thursday night the green lever was switched and in a blink of a megahertz, the new web site came pouring out and took over. Yes Star-Telegram redesigned their web site and sure enough, it's packed with popups, ads and stuff to make MYSPACErs feel at home. What's New:
- The ads are now on the right side. So if you are blessed with a small monitor, just keep looking left.
- The Black Navigation bar -s-l-o-w=l=y- drops down to reveal even more ads. But there is a text box.
- The search engine is on top... never mess with a good thing.
- A new TV-sized box flashes photos.
- Below are blogs, more blogs, the whole place has been overtaken by BLOGS.
- Then finally, real news.. Local and State -- in bright blood red tabs. If it bleeds, it ledes...
- On the side, a grey box with even more BLOGS! Yeehaw!
- Where is the Fort Worth and Arlington news... where... oh yeah buried in the LOCAL red tab.
I guess its like driving a new car, gotta get used to it. It's not tiny tiny text like Dallasnews.com but by far, the ads are much more in your face. Too much blinky, blinky. Why don't web designers understand that what we want is this!
So is this better than before?
