Somerville News web site becomes nearly useless

[ron_newman]

The Somerville News has made a big deal about converting from Typepad to their own custom website, but .... geez:

- There is no obvious way to find articles older than four days ago
- There is no indication of which articles have recent comments
- Clicking on "Contact Us" results in "There are currently no articles in the section"
- Clicking on "Write Letter to Editor" results in "There are currently no articles in the section"
- Clicking on "Submit Calendar Item" results in "There are currently no articles in the section"
- Clicking on "Advertise" results in "There are currently no articles in the section"
- Clicking on "Legal Ads" results in "No Display Ads Found"
- If you submit a comment, they now require your e-mail address and phone number

I gotta wonder who approved this change, and why.

I would say "hail to the king, baby", but Bruce Campbell isn't in town for another couple of weeks.

Wait, WHAT? so, are we all convering there like the bunch of fan-boys/girls/richips that we are? (I'm not actually sure that richips is a fan, but felt I should give zir the option... and "fan-richips" is much better than "fan-being")
