I get that a pretty face generates clicks for the site, but perhaps get more than one? Seeing her face on half the front page articles seems a bit desperate.

Starting to feel like this site is her personal blog.

The new site looks great, but loads like molasses on every platform I own. My pc is hardwired to a 50g fios router, on which ive tried loading the site from chrome, ie, and firefox with consistently terrible load times. The mobile version on my ipad and android phone also woefully underperforms, both in wifi and on the att network. Every other media rich website I visit loads up quickly and responsively. Trying to blame it on the advertisers is condescending and belittling. To put it plainly, your new site sucks. Terribly. Looks nice, but handles like a pig.
