@Evan. . . have you seen Google Wave? That seems like the technology that would revolutionize an online participative blog. It’s in Beta testing now. Hopefully you can tell the folks at Belo exactly what they need in terms of technology to enable the exchange.

I won’t check out ESPN until they have an ESPNFortWorth.com site. Actually, I won’t check them out after that, either.

I agree, GhettoBear. So much easier to navigate. The pages load quickly. Everything is in places that make sense.

It’s what a Web site should do. Other sites should take note.

This makes all the sense in the world. There’s a lesson to this to a lot of journos. If you are good, the market will make a place for you. But Evan is great at what he does. Just have to keep reinventing yourself. Congrats Evan for making it happen.

Heh…soiled drawers. Funny.

I checked out the ESPN Dallas. As a big Dallas sports fan living in Houston, I must say I’m pretty impressed. A local sportscenter, blogs on the Cowboys and Rangers by people who used to work for DMN, and a much (x100) better layout. Good luck guys, ESPN looks like they’re for real.

@Buddy:I’ve always lived by this motto: What I serve up may not be very good, but I’ll give you a lot of it.

You don’t know what you have been missing.

So does this mean Evan can’t contribute to the occasional SideDish post?

I hope Evan can talk the DMN into increasing their section on religion.

@GuiltyBystander: Thanks for your kind wishes, but our greatest hope here is that your wrong. We want to provide local sports coverage, generated by local folks intended for local customers. We will do everything we can to make the DMN site the best it possibly can be.
