The sticky by M Smith said the number of topics per page would be expanding. I would be interested to know if this latest change was brought about because their hits dropped after they tried to artificially increase them.

Does Gordon's mugshot really have to be that big?

Yeesh. He went into print media, not television.

Clean looks are "in" on webdesign right now (think apple.com). The glory of a clean site is that you can focus on one or two important peices and diseminate your information through headers. The problem with these big newspaper-style sites is that you can't do clean when you have a ton of content and links on one single page. I honestly haven't seen a newspaper website that I think is good.

Honestly, this is an improvement over their earlier site, but really, they should hire a designer or two and fire some developers.

Meh, any media buyer that values "hits" shouldn't be working anyways. It is nice to see them use some decent CSS for once though. Their last file was terrible.
