New look and a call for new contributors
Posted on February 28th, 2008 at 1:29 pm by Jason Wright, EditorUnless you’re visually impaired, not that there’s anything wrong with that, you’ll notice a slightly new look for the Derby this afternoon. It’s a bit sleeker, cleaner, and makes better use of space. We hope you agree. We also hope the Derby will continue to bring you the pure joy, guilty pleasure, and life-altering fulfillment that it brings to our team of contributors.
Speaking of contributors, longtime Derby fans know that attrition is a sad part of life. We’ve lost a few good writers in the last year or two and our ranks have grown a bit thin. So if you’d like to be considered for a coveted spot as a PD Contributor, send us a sample and show off your stuff. Send a paragraph or two to writers[at]politicalderby.com
Though contributors are not paid, they do receive such valuable perks as: David Kaiser’s social security number and DOB, Stephen’s secret high school nickname, and the crown jewel… An 8×10 of Phillip’s McCracken.

Considering I work in education, I’m pretty sure my SSN and DOB are actually quite worthless…
How about an 8X10 of SA since she’s probably the only good looking one you have contributing on the site (no offense to Phil or his McCracken
).
Now you opened a can-O-worms!
Shawn, I own a mirror, so none taken.
Was I the LAST one to catch on to McCracken’s name? Duh.
Only if it’s the 8×10 I used for ’80s casting calls!
I’m wondering what everyone thinks of new web design?
Yes, no, maybe so?
New web design looks great! Easy on the eyes.
My eyes could use a larger font but it didn’t take long to get used to.
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
Is that a Seinfeld reference?
I like the new look and feel, but I also liked having the next/previous links at the top of the comments instead of the bottom. I very much like having the comments numbered, it’s easier to refer to them now.
Has PD realized Obama’s vision for change?
very night format, now. yesterday, when I first saw it, there were no comment links, no pics, etc. I must have hit the site mid-update. I was looking for this thread to post a complaint. but now that I see the finished product, I like it.
I would prefer threaded comments. The numbers are a reasonable compromise.
There are no numbers on the comments I see here. Am I missing something? There used to be numbers on each comment, but no more…
I like the new site.
The only criticism is that whatever graphic is being used for the comments link, I keep getting a red ‘X’ instead. I’ve tried it on 2 different PCs and I am geting the same result. Looks like something needs to be tweaked on that.
