The site is too busy, and the ads are overwhelming. This is 2010, people have website optimization down to a science and the Express put out that website. It look like the only thing they didn't squeeze on the page was an invite to follow them on Facebook. What they shoulda concentrate on was updating the news more than once a day.

White space is a good thing/

I sent them a response tel;ling how bad they've become.

I don't even bother to go to those "news" websites.

The large, unclickable main logo and title of the page should be made into a link to the homepage and it takes up so much space.
The orange lines around the ad above the video player look untidy.
The spaces on the left and right of the content are different sizes.
They could do better.
Yuh could download free templates that look better than that.

disappointing it wayyy to congested and the overall format takes you away from the news which should be the highlight.

They should have done a survey on their site asking for feedback on the transformation. I sure most people would say they dont like it..

BABY DIES IN FIRE
Grandma saves five siblings, but...
Friday, March 19th 2010
Both Trinidad and Tobago challenger Ria Ramnarine and Japanese World Boxing Association (WBA) champion Etsuko Tada are confident ahead of their May 29 world title fight which takes place in Trinidad at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya.

From her Florida, USA training camp, Ramnarine told her new promoter Giovanni Potts that she was feeling great as she went through rigorous training ahead of the fight.

Ramnarine has sent Potts footage taken during her USA training stint and Potts’s opinion is that Ramnarine looked a better, stronger fighter who had improved on her technical flaws.

’I feel like a champ already,’ said Ramnarine.

WBA mini-flyweight (105 pound) champion Etsuko Tada will be making her third title defence when she takes on Ramnarine (12 wins, 5 defeats).

Tada, who retained her title in a draw against WBC light-flyweight champion Naomi Togashi last December, has a professional record of six wins, including two knockouts, and one draw.

The Japanese southpaw, who has also won 47 of 50 amateur fights, said she is determined to put up a good fight in the Caribbean.

’I really don’t like flying and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about fighting overseas. I just fight the matches that have been booked for me. I want to show superior boxing,’ Tada said in a release from her Futur Gym in Japan.

express does it again:

Man acquitted of rape, buggery charges
Tuesday, June 8th 2010
THE rate of unemployment in Trinidad and Tobago has declined.

The latest data from the Central Statistical Office said the unemployment rate fell 0.7 per cent to 5.1 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2009 from 5.8 per cent in the third quarter of last year.

This compared to an increase in the unemployment rate of 1.2 per cent between the third and fourth quarters of 2008, the CSO said.

Women contributed more to the decrease in the rate than men. The unemployment rate among women decreased from 7.4 per cent to 5.9 per cent between the third and fourth quarters of 2009.

The total number of unemployed people decreased from 35,900 in the third quarter of 2009 to 31,000 in the fourth quarter of last year.

This was a decrease of 4,900 people.

Increases in employment were observed in the Defence Force, shop service workers, plant and machine workers and operators and assemblers, the CSO said.

Decreases were observed in craft and related workers, agricultural, forestry and fisheries workers.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the entire labour force registered 613,500 people, a decrease of 2,600 people or 0.4 per cent from the 616,100 people in the labour force for the third quarter of 2009.
