Michael Boren: FIXED Web page post

Hey, my last post came out all messed up, so here is the FIXED one. This is the Web site for the ABC affiliate in Dallas. I love how easy it is to navigate through the site. This Web site works very well for the typical news viewer who doesn't have a lot of time to read. The top stories are easily accessible toward the left side of the page, and to the right are tons of stories (under Latest News) I can quickly glance over and click on if they interest me. The Web site also groups its videos well to the right of all those stories, making it simple once again to quickly glance over and click on a video that interests me. The news site also neatly groups and separates the news, sports, entertainment sections etc. up at the top. It clearly identifies to me where I can go if I need to look up the latest Dallas Mavericks basketball win, for example. The placement of ads to the left of the top stories catches my eye and allows me to easily view the ads if they interest me. Overall, the Web site is very user friendly, because the multitudes of stories and videos let the viewer choose what he or she wants to read, not just what the news affiliate puts out. In case you want to get a better view of the page, just go to: wfaa.com
