ksdk.com and stltoday.com

Maybe it's STL news sites, or maybe it's a growing trend (or affliction), but this whole 'hover-over-drop-down-menu' maddness has got to end.

KSDK.com had ONE awesome feature on their old site that had me visiting not once, but twice and sometimes 10 times a day (aside from the fact that the K, S, and D keys are in the home row of the standard QWERTY keyboard): 5 day weather forcast on the front page. Now, it's 2 clicks deep (and today's is even incorrect).

KSDK.com has also yet to realize that the marquee effect went out with IE 3.0 (or was it 2.0... or wait, was it Mosaic?).

And what's worse? They now offer free blogs! Slap me and call me Bette Davis! A FREE BLOG! I always wanted (another) FREE BLOG! sigh.

And even better is you can't participate in this "online community" without registering (I even tried registering, but it uh... didn't work, or something, I got tired of waiting for it).

At least STLToday has an RSS feed so I don't have to visit their site (and wade through the ads) to see the headlines. KSDK doesn't even offer that much.
