@Mr. C – Yep. Some of us think the vertical part of that F is a nice place for some content.

Left nav is probably not dead, we all know about the many studies done showing how people read web sites in an F pattern. That is where left nav comes from and why many designers find it effective.

I wrote about the left nav bar a while back. RIP: Left Nav Bar, ?-2007. I hope more sites get away from it. We've unfortunately trained people to dismiss anything on the right side, so horizontal seems the best option.

You’re right – Naples is totally breaking that second point in the list. I’ll find a better example later – but as I go through my list of newspapers, every Scripps site is a breath of air.

The new Knoxville site is beautiful (we agree) — very clean and easy both to browse and to read. But that Naples site gives me a headache. I can’t tell the ads from the graphics. They’re jumbled together and hardly differentiated from one another.

My conclusion: Not all new Scripps sites are equally effective!
