I thought that title was cute, so I’m keeping it. It is my first post after all, and I somehow doubt that it will be read anytime soon. By way of a quick introduction, this is my very first public blog. I haven’t yet decided on an overall topic or theme for this blog, but I think it will generally stay on the current events and politics side of things. After all, they tell you to write what you know.
What I do know is that while visiting the CBC.ca page this week, I was most surprised by the new layout. I’ve read positive reviews, (on a CBC blog). I have to say that I am not a fan.
To me, the site design seems to emphasize advertisements: some paid advertising by outside companies, and some advertising CBC shows. The news, which I have always considered to be the “meat” of the website, is difficult to access. I realize that it has its own page, at CBC.ca/News, but I find that my eye is just as drawn to the ads on that page.
Mostly I’m disappointed at the lack of access to the Analysis & Viewpoints page. I love a good editorial, whether or not I agree with it, and I wish I could get to the editorial selection page without going through one of the authors’ pages. What would the world be without the brilliantly written, if arrogant and sometimes dogmatic, commentary of Heather Mallick?
