Skate and Annoy: Daily

More or Less Annoying?

Keeping in mind that some kinks need to be worked out… is this design more or less annoying than it used to be? Comments? Suggestions?

  • I’d be happy to submit some pics of the week if you would like, you like?

  • Annoying: the pic of the week has been up for weeks, we’re tired of looking at shawn’s ass.

  • Then stop with the blue and red Randy. If I caouldn’t figure that out, and I’m on here daily, then you know that 99% of the others couldn’t figure that out. SO there’s 2 outside columns with links and shit. Can’t you get that down to 1 and then widen the main column? Simplify.

    And sorry Conehead, my wrestling stuff stays.

    You trying to start some kind of feud brothaaaaa???

    Did you say muscle cars? Mmmm…. muscle cars.

  • And could we add more totally unrelated threads? Maybe a discussion about jeans or maybe muscle cars or field hockey? Or more opportunities for Tiger Beat style idolatry. Fuck.

    House of Neil… Clear the cobwebs out of your eyes, We’ve been back to that way for a week now. There’s only one post on the right side, it’s a “Sticky” post to keep topical stuff on the front page.

  • houseofneil

    Then I would prefer it the way it used to be with both skate and annoyng stuff all in the large column. The red column still doesn’t read as real content to me. It seems like ads/links or something.

    Swiv, you’re still the same strange individual you were when I first met you 20 years ago. Rock on.

  • Randy-

    I think the design is strong already. I’m not sure it can be improved. If you can actually improve on something this good, it will be really impressive.

    My only criticism is the lack of photos of attractive young women. You should hire some teenage boy to shoot pictures of attractive young ladies and give them their own section so disgusting, perverted old dudes like myself can drool on ourselves. Not porn, just photos. Hot Chick of the Week or something like that.

  • I especially like the teaser links you put on the top of the page. Good for site traffic, and good for reading.

  • Matt Sefton

    Agree with Neil totally about the annoy side. And the text is still too small. Some of us are old and infirm, y’know 😉

  • A

    Screen real estate is the problem there. I don’t want to annoy people with a page that won’t display for older machines, already taking a chance with that.

  • the red “annoy” side needs to be full width. The recent comments should go on the outside, not cut into the Annoy section. The way it looks now, the Annoy side looks like a contents section or something.

  • OK, I’m a dork. I just figured out that the “blue side” is Skate, and the “red side” is Annoy.

  • I like it, but it’s harder for me to find my favorite category, baywatch.

  • Eric Cherry

    Get a section, tabbed page, or whatever you wanna call it devoted to Ebay Watch. It’s my favorite part of the site!

  • The ad at the top of the page looks like it is part of this URL (usually you use this link to get to index page)

    How about a new footer. It doesn’t quite fit in.

    Elsewise, the overall it looks clean.

    Not quite sure of all the bugs, I haven’t looked around that much and probably won’t ever venture very far past the most recent blogs (some good and other wasted space in my opinion).

  • … who knows, you might be on to something. 😉

  • A

    Oh oh. Confusing content with ads isn’t a good sign!

  • I like the concept, but it took me a few days to realize that the right side wasnt ads. Maybe just use the red for the titles like the right, and give “annoy” just as much space as “Skate”.

  • I like it a lot. Where’s the search box? Banner ads seem too prominent. My temple should be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.

  • Matt Sefton

    More annoying I’m afraid mate. The left hand side is fine but the right isn’t happening for me at all. Typeface way too small and the Recent Comments/Good Stuff//Categories lists are making the right hand side look really cluttered. Sorry – imho and all that!
