Will they ask you what you think? Who knows.
The DailyProgress launched a new website design sometime last night and I was going through it. I’m not a big fan of flash boxes in the middle of the page, designs that don’t get you to where you want to get quickly. I think the menu items are slightly clearer than before, but the page design forces you to stay on and click through a lot more things. Can anyone say annoying? My favorite newspaper site is WashingtonPost.com which is easy to use and doesn’t annoy you with a bunch of flash.
I’m curious what you think:
What do you think of the new DailyProgress.com design?

not. gud.
Take one part YouTube, a dash of weather channel, a cup of advertisements, 2 tbsp of bugs, a sprinkling of actual news, put into blender, and set to puree. Put mixture into pan and bake in a slow-loading oven at 420 degrees for 69 minutes. Remove pan from oven, forgetting your oven mitts, and drop on floor while yelling ow! ow! ow! Squeegee resulting spamahol into html bucket and throw away. Order out.
I’m voting “marginally better” because I don’t have to click from “Shopping” to “News.” But I’m not a fan of flash. WP.com is a good model.
I’m voting marginally better also – slightly annoying. I hate flash and uninvited sound.
I like the NY Times website – clean.
If I ever get a minute, I’ll have to share some very interesting conversations I had in Manhattan with some locals a few weeks ago.
Do people use the site enough to stress over this?
who’s stressed? it’s friday.
I am very stressed.
have a prune danish.
the site is sooooo slow! too many bells and whistles? guess I will go elsewhere to read about the sniper arrests.
but… that’s what the internet is all about! chatting, online grocery shopping, virtual reality, cyberspace, bells, craigslist, sex chat, porn, and whistles!
I DEMAND SEX WHISTLES.
Not to get all “I majored in political science as an undergrad oh these many years ago” on you, but shouldn’t you break out the worse options the way you break out the better ones? E.g.,
-Way Worse Than Before
-Somewhat Worse Than Before
-Marginally Worse Than Before
yes. i majored in something too, and the mandatory “something something research” class taught me kinds of boring shit about keeping your surveys even keel, in the interest of something something something, oh my god, help me, i am so bored.
stanley is right.
Vindication!
Oh. Wait. It’s parlie. Crap.
Yes, parlie is crap…a huge vindicating crap.
fuck.
Making-fun-of-parlie-obligations aside—Thor: you should fix the survey options.
seriously. if this survey isn’t statistically significant and representative of the internet idiot population at large, then what have we really accomplished here? still nothing? i see.
i’m fired, aren’t i?
Probability of parlie being funny in this post is, surprisingly, approaching 1.
Ohhh A good ol’ fashion blood letting. Yes.
But why Parlie?
I was just joshing, actually. Insufficient caffeine intake is to blame for any perceived actual harshness.
Actually, picking on Parlie is just plain fun.
i am fluent in sarcasmic. you will never defeat me.
sarcastrator + decider = parlie
Wait a minute, I’m the decider. I meant:
sarcastrator + reminder = parlie
Sorry for confusion.
Stanley, please come in and take a seat. We’re all here today because we care about you. We all want you to take a deep look at your life and think about your usage of the word “joshing”.
i forgot about my role as the reminder, thanks smiley.
i’d just like to remind everybody here that this website is serious fucking business, and i’m sick and tired of all the lollygagging, horseplay, flim-flam, and ballyhoo. but most of all i am fed up with the joshing.

Can I show you on the doll where Josh touched me?
In case you guys/gals missed it in all the drinkin’ / shootin’ & hatin’.
Missed what… double penetration?

THOUGHTS FLASH THROUGH MY MIND, MAYBE THE DAILY PROGRESS IS CUTTING OUT FREEBIES, IN AWAY OF CUTTING COST!YOU KNOW THE EXTRA WORK NEEDED,EXTRA INK ETC ETC

oh man.
thor, you want to field this one? or anybody? does anybody want to field this one?
This is definitely a Thor one. Where is he. Get your lazy butt out of bed!
parlie, slowly back away. If you pretend it’s not there, it’ll usually go away.
