07 Oct 08 Home page ugliness
I know the Las Vegas Sun gets all sort of accolades for its multimedia. I think I’ve even sung its praises once or thrice. But honestly, what is going on with the home page?
A huge smattering of links above the virtual fold sitting right next to an often flashing, seizure-inducing ad does not a pleasant page make. Am I alone here?

At SND in Vegas, Rob Curley said they’re actually A/B testing: Sometimes going with a pretty, designed-every-day homepage with a special treatment for a featured story…
…and sometimes they’re taking the Drudge approach.
Which one drives more traffic to the innards of the site? We’ll see.
