Well, if we could get people to post less of these:

And more of these:

then we might be a prettier site.

Cool. I'll take “functional” over “pretty” anyday. Time to go make my Freepathon donation!

Interesting that they didn’t link to the FR home page, and their BBC link didn’t work at all.

Thanks. The list of 100 is useful, too. Notice that they put this one first, though?

“9 Sites To Help Your Survive the Recession”

What Recession?!?! Where’s the site to help us survive the current Socialist Power Grab on The Hill? ;)

I agree. Free Republic doesn’t have fancy formatting or Java widgets or bloat. It’s stripped-down, fast (recent server troubles excepted), and gets out of your way and lets you see what’s really important—the news and comments. FR is my primary news source now, and has been for years! (And yes, I contribute during FReepathons when I have the money, and hope to do so when things look up for me in a few weeks!)

The Freerepublic.com link goes directly to the forum page. You have to click "Free Republic" on the forum page to get to the home page. I like it that way as a visitor can immediately see the list of current articles and the sidebars with categorized articles.
