Not too shabby, Mr. Martinez.

Even “feels” like Drudge, in the way a Hyundai feels like a Honda. Nice job.

I like The Blaze and check it multiple times daily. Billy Hallowell is a great writer. Superb ‘Faith’ section on there. Their top story slideshows tend to be less news-y, more shock though (Farrakhan, Van Jones, etc.) I feature stories like that on my site, don’t get me wrong, but it’s extremely rare for me to put that as one of the top top stories.

The Puffington Huffington Compost is considered by some libs to be their ‘Drudge Report’. I just listed it since those are the two giant aggregators.

I’ll list Free Republic under the News column too. Currently only under the Social Network column.

Thanks for the feedback.

You need to get it tested. I get a question mark from Norton. They haven’t tested your site yet.
I’ll go check it out as soon as Norton’s rated it.

I’d prefer you took FR out of the Social Network column as putting FR in the same category as Facebook is an insult to FR.

Did Drudge ever find out about the Palin assisted Fischer win in Nebraska?

The colors are terrible.

It is so much easier to read black and white. RED and BLUE are the worst color choices.

TO MUCH ALL CAPS. A Sans Serif font is not good for reading.

It looks like a Powerpoint slide.

Let me know when you change things.

There are many references, one of my favorites is Designing the User Interface by Ben Shneiderman.

BTW I am a User Interface expert. You can contact me off line if you would like a professional opinion and improvements. I could with you coder to build a better User Interface.

I suspect so....maybe he don’t report everything..I have heard that he is kind of a RINO..I don’t get all my news from Drudge...right here is the place for that, but my long time home page is Drudge...I like the headline.

Suggestion: change the links so they open in a new browser page.

Google News did this recently and it certainly simplifies things.

FWIW, Web of Trust (WOT) shows you as unrated.

Well, I like it.

I think you’d be well served to listen to Crazy Jim and upchuck, a few minor tweaks could help.

I’ve bookmarked your page and look forward to frequently checking it.
