Oh lord. My old Black Eagle website is long gone<\/a> (somewhat unsafe for work… guys in jocks, leather imagery, no nudity), replaced by a site I am sure was made in Frontpage. No, a pirated copy of Frontpage and MS Paint.<\/p>\n

I don’t even know where to begin to be cynical. The riot of colour? The beveled or incredibly pixelated fonts? The broken image on the staff page? The horrid resizing of web images to hundreds of times their original size without apology? Or resizing by HTML? My original artwork heavy handedly ripped apart and overdrawn to shit? Typos galore?<\/p>\n

Wood grain?<\/p>\n

Did the designer make the site with boxing gloves on?<\/p>\n

Sigh. I knew this day would come. If the site were better than my original design (since it was 3 years old, that would not have been hard to do), I would honestly be congratulatory. <\/p>\n

I know I sound bitter.<\/p>\n

But it’s like seeing a boyfriend who you liked a lot, who dumped you<\/em>, and is now hanging around crack heads and accountants.<\/p>\n

Before you comment, go look at NYC Eagle<\/a> and compare it to BET. Arresting opening page. Tight layout and easy navigation. One style throughout. My only complaint is that it’s Flash. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
