Re: Make PressDemocrat.com Better, Pt 1: Internet Friendly

I couldn't agree more. I grew up in Santa Rosa and used to read the PD every day. I moved to LA a few years ago and now live Austin, and I try to read online. But, to your points above, it's a chore. Navigation is horrible, the RSS feeds are just as bad, and when my family members in Windsor mention a current article, I have to do the same search. I also agree with Nathan's comment below; I've stopped viewing or participating in any aspect of the community/forums/comments because I'm appalled at the level of racism and nastiness some people post on the site. It's especially disappointing to me because I'd love to be able to feel connected to Sonoma County and read about the local news every day. I hope they'll make some changes.

Elizabeth, Thanks for the great post. I ran into (and blogged about) the same exact challenge this week, and I felt the same relief when I finally tackled and finished one of the looming client projects on my desk.

It's tough not to get caught up checking email, writing blog posts, and catching up on reading feeds and all of the other things I enjoy each morning, but the satisfaction of making progress might be enough to make me change my ways.

Good tips. I try most of these from time to time but my problem is remembering to do them consistently...
