Two for Two

First Beanie Wells, now the
Dispatch. As some of you may recall,
last weekend we mentioned what appeared to be a
new feature – the electronic edition.
During that discussion, Buckeye Commentary (a
dedicated Dispatch reader,
incidentally) called for a more uniform look to
the paper.
Well folks, ask and you shall receive. Today the Dispatch unveiled its new look. It is nice to see the paper taking some reader advice to heart.
Sarcasm aside, Buckeye Commentary is well aware that the redesign was in the works for a while, but as they say – timing is everything and our comment was timed perfectly. Why not take some small amount of credit?
The redesign is not radically different with the ad placement and color palette largely the same. They did create staggered levels of navigation, which looks much better. Sadly, the search function remains the worst on any major website in the country. Seriously, try it.
Continuing the media news, ESPN had a piece on the Buckeyes’ spring and the new approach taken by Tressel and Co. The Worldwide Leader gets in the obligatory shots about the past two title games but also talks up several Buckeyes, including Lawrence Wilson.
If you just cannot get enough of the gang from Bristol, you can read this lengthy chat with several of their college footballs reporters and columnists (subscriber). I will not ruin the ending for you, but my favorite (Ohio State related) part was Heather Dinich expressing her exasperation at the amount of questions regarding the Iowa Hawkeyes. What does she expect? It is Iowa in April.
Nice touch, Heather.
