Has your blog button disappeared?

Posted Wednesday, November 29, 2017, at 9:35 AM

It could be me, but when I boot up I no longer see the word "blog" in the top bar underneath TIMES-GAZETTE.

When I mentioned the Weather button had disappeared some months ago I was told it was there, which it is but only if you click "menu". Now the blog button has melted into the menu. If you are used to hunting for the moving "cheese" I guess that is not an issue, but website building 101 used to say "make it easy for your viewers to find things".

Just sayin'.

    They don't want us to get tooooooo comfortable with it. And they need to change it up once in a while to justify their existence. Not really sure who "they" are tho.

  • I have found that the more they "improve" a website, the less user-friendly it becomes.

  • I have had three emails so far that are asking why they removed the blog. I explained but how many others do not contact me or just figure it is gone.

    I went through a little writers block before but this does not help the motivation to keep trying.

    Just sayin'......

    The thing is, Steve, you can tell all the people all the details or instructions on how to get to the blogs, but if they don't Scroll down to the bottom of the page where they hide the door to the blogs or click on the menu, which I just learned recently what that was and how that worked,the people will never see your instructions or details on finding the blogs. I guess this 5 letter word was just too much for their masthead.

  • They put "weather" in that position months ago. When i asked why mybrespinse was, What, it is still there. Yes, technically,but it requires an extra step and "knowing" it is there.

    The T-G is not alone in this programming mentality. As we move More and more to mobile formats this seems to be happening. Maybe we have a programmer on here who can explain the theory or reasons?
