Actually it does, just not on all days!
Norwalk does have some major crime action though, I think it is worse than Stamford.

Why does the police blotter only contain Norwalk crimes? Why cant Stamford crimes get some love?

It’s still down. How is a Stamford blogger to blog without her Advocate feed? I’m tempted to call them because I am a busybody like that… I am always calling places with weird questions that clearly flummox people.

Ahhh the cancer thing is still there! Didn’t they read our survey responses? Maybe their feed is down because they’re trying to take that ad off…

hehe I knew you would like this post.

I think you meant the answer blank was too short – I know, it was like trying to write a headline giving feed back in that tiny space.

Q What do you like most about the new design?
A That you learned to use the IMG tag.

Q What do you least like about the new design?
A That you learned to use the HORRIFIC_FLASH_POPUP tag.

I mean, seriously, go ahead a WAIT a week or two after you launch a redesign before you start hitting people over the head with the giant animated CANCER ads. W T F

Personally I was just impressed that the links from their rss feed worked today – oops no they didnt. sheesh.

Your bitter attitude put a smile on my love-to-gossip face. Wow- I just clicked on the Advocate site, thinking it surely couldn’t be as bad as you portrayed… and the giant black word “CANCER” exploded onto my screen. Wow- annoying AND disturbing! I couldn’t click the words off my screen, so I just closed the page. Who at the Advocate approved THAT?

I just did the survey, but the answer blank was too long to say how enraged I am that I can’t click on a button that says “events” to learn about music and drama in the FC… I think the new Advocate design is similar to the Connecticut Post site, except the Post DOES have a calendar of events.
