Optimizing the Frontpage...

We've just rolled some minor updates to the frontpage to try to optimize a few things.

before
after

 

 

In case you're having trouble spotting the specific changes, here's what's new:

  • Showing Longer Titles in the 4-Picture Module - a lot of you pointed out that titles were regularly getting cut off in that module, so we've made the text smaller and moved from just two lines of text to three lines of text for each title. Now you should be able to see the full title for almost all the posts.
  • Moving Top Blogs a Little Higher on the Page - as you can see from the before & after screenshots, the Top Blogs module ends up a little higher on the page after these latest tweaks

But wait, you say... how can you add longer titles without pushing top blogs *down*? Well, we started by hiding those little labels that used to show above the pictures (Parenting, Dating, Beauty, etc.). But because some of you mentioned that you liked those labels, we've used some CSS trickery to make them available - just mouse over any of the pictures and you'll see the label!

Just keepin' y'all in the loop.

Car Rental Aside, Adulthood Is Mostly Overrated
Parents, thanks for teaching your kids not to be brats in department stores and that it's not okay to belch so loudly in restaurants unless they also excuse themselves just as loudly.  Thank you for keeping them from acting in ways causing them to appear before Judge Mathis, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Judy, or any of those other judge shows that law school professors abhor.  I appreciate those of you who've taught your princes and princesses the importance of being well-mannered around other adults who might record them on YouTube and make them the scourge of the Internet.  I have no kids, so I won't presume I know what more you could do to teach them the ways of maturity, except to make one suggestion that may not even have anything to do with what you've done or not done to fashion them into contributing members of social security... I mean society: 

Please tell your kids that it's okay for them to be kids. More Here...

I Used to Be Ugly
Growing up, I was the ugly kid. Or at least that is how my peers made me feel with their constant taunting and nasty words. They may have been correct in calling me ugly. I was chubby, pimple-ridden, and most of all, had the most terrible style of dressing.

Exhibit A More Here...
