The Washington Times is sneak-peaking its new website, and the first thing I notice—since I use the Flashblock extension for Firefox—is how much blank space the page has, peppered with those little round buttons with F’s on them.
Once again some (not-so-)bright web designer has decided it’s not a “real” web page unless it’s filled to the brim with unnecessary animation (especially animated ads) to help distract the reader from the actual content.
I already quit browsing the Fox News website because they “improved” it to the point of being completely unusable. Will the Washington Times follow suit?
Will I care?
