Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

You Site Sucks OR Why I stopped reading the Dallas Morning News

I still peruse the headlines, but now I'm loathe to click on a link to read an entire story. Every click gives me a pop-up even though I have them blocked, there are advertisements before every article and when I've cleared my cookies and cache it's asking me for a password to read an article. I hate that!

The Statesman recently won some award for their site and I will say it's improved, but to me the Houston Chronicle is the easiest site to navigate and has the most unobtrusive advertisements. It bites because I like the DMN.

You know, I *work* there, and they still ask me for my password every time I long in.

It's too bad it's so tough, because it sure looks pretty.

The writing, however, is still GENIUS!!!
