[Seattle-editorial] Re: [Seattletech] possible site design

[anarch3m]

We're long away from doing that many classifications.  long way mediamaker wise.  

That said, in support of needing less, I'd like to ask the question of verticality.  I have really liked some sites that are more newspaper like, in that they have several news stories across, rather than down.  the webs have 'Classified', not just one after another.  So we could have enviro left, politico right and event center

All three just below banner and the links (oh- this is an old old thread- i will drop  "links" for the moment)

I'll put in another pitch for a front page devoid of the open wire.  a front page all of for and by the local working media makers to put content to.

And, Personally, i'm liking the unboundaried open spaces.  I'd like to get banner et al to go with it, not revert back to that oppressive heavy all filled in busywork!  My semiotic sensibilities get cog-dissed seeing that here.  But i also do like the clear highlighting a bunch.
