Article Excerpts on Home Page

Sat, Jun 24, 2006Ballhype: hype it up!
by Geoff Young

Hey, quick site note: I’m experimenting a little by putting only excerpts on the home page instead of full articles. Advantages to you are cleaner page layout and quicker load times; advantages to me are — let’s be honest — better exposure for ads.

As you know, I’m pretty sensitive about the ad thing, so if this new look stinks, let me know. I’d rather have you guys be happy with Ducksnorts than score myself a few more free cups of coffee — Lord knows I don’t need the extra caffeine. ;-)

Update: Nobody liked this look, so we’re not doing it. Thanks for the honest feedback!

Picking up where last year's version left off, the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual provides in-depth analysis of and commentary on the San Diego Padres. Get your copy today.

    Honest opinion? Hate it. It’s really annoying to have to click on every story to read it.

    Thanks, Nick. My wife had the same objection. A couple others voiced a negative opinion in Saturday’s IGD. So ends the shortest experiment in Ducksnorts history!

Due to repeated violations of the Comments Policy and a lack of time by yours truly to adequately moderate the discussion, comments have been temporarily disabled. There is no timetable for their return. Thanks, Geoff.
