Around SB Nation

Although, like rickyspud said, it’s a little too much on the eyes. If it loaded after a jump it might be a little easier.

The site works well for what it is intended, but with menus on top and both the left and right side of the main text it is too busy. I think if there was a way to have a top menu and then a side menu on only the left of the right the page would look a little better. Oh, and could be get a few more ads? I jest, but it seems like every few weeks there are more ads squeezed into tight spaces everywhere.

I love this site. I visit almost everyday. You can’t get this sort of Longhorn info anywhere else, so no matter what you decide to do aesthetically, it doesn’t really matter as to whether I’ll keep coming to the site or not. We’re men (well the majority of us anyway, sorry dime), so practicality should be the main focus. As always, you guys do a superb job of reporting, dissecting, and giving us thought-provoking articles each and every day. I think I speak for all when I say, keep up the good work.

but I like the individual pages (i.e. after you click through the jump) less. The BON logo is smaller on these individual pages for some reason, and it’s a bit jarring. And the fact that the title of each post is no longer centered works fine on the main page, but looks a little nondescript on the individual pages.

I do like, however, the captioning on the AP photos in slight gray. That’s nice. All in all, it looks cleaner, which is nice.

One request for you to pass along to the techies: on CBS fantasy sites, all of the informational components are movable. That is, if I want my transaction report to be above my player news, I can drag and drop it there, etc. I think we should have a way to do that with the various widgets on the sidebars. If I want my “Featured Posts” on top of the FanPosts for easier access or if I want the “Next Game” widget on the top left , I should be able to move it, etc. Obviously, the ads probably have to stay in constant places as part of the ad agreements, but otherwise, it would be great to be able to move things around and/or choose which widgets I want on there at all.

…to the sbnation icons that looked like obama? lol jk.

I agree w/ mostly everything BZ said. The thing that is most disturbing to the eye is everything seems to have to the left. The fanposts are in the way more, and I, personally, don’t think the titles’ font have to be that big.
