I agree with My2Cents that news and opinion (blogs) should be separate sections. For me to post an…Read More actual news item, I can either start a blog which seems more appropriate for commentary, or post an announcement that will be buried in between lost cats, yard sales and other personal posts. The only way to get news into the news section is to have an editor pick it up, but with the onslaught of information and shortage of editors - many of them handling several Patch sites - chances are slim.

I don't like the new layout either. The news seems to be mixed up with blogs. Also, in a news story,…Read More after the first paragraph of the story, there are links for other stories. Put those at the end or off to the side. I want to read the story, not get distracted by some other story. I also don't like the little "signs" down the right side. What are they supposed to be about? They seem to be a mix of blogs, announcements, maybe news? Who knows.... It's just a mess. I can't easily find stories I was following as easily as on the old Patch.

It's pretty clear that the least important content on the screens are the news stories and blogs.…Read More The ads overpower the screens with their size and bright colors. While I understand the importance of ad revenue, ads don't bring readers to Patch. Good content does and Patch can't survive without that. Ad revenue won't continue without adequate viewership. If this topic can't generate anymore comments than the few that are here, then I think a significant number of people have walked away from their keyboards.

About the only electric vehicle I would consider buying is one that did not require charging off of…Read More any other sources other than its own--meaning that it charges its own batteries, either thorough motion while it's on the road or through something like solar cells charging up the batteries and keeping them charged, even when the car is parked and it's sitting in a parking lot on a sunny day--until that happens, no electric vehicle is going to be practical outside of anything other than short trips or the commute. And as for how you got your vehicle, are there any other "carrots" out there that can be dangled in front of you so you can follow them, even into the oblivion known as electric vehicles that require charging from a source that is not part of your vehicle--because that sounds stupid and foolish to me. It sounds more like it is somebody's Pavlovian experiment to change our behavior if we buy the electric cars being marketed out there instead of waiting for the next generation of technology out there, the kind that won't require charging up the batteries or keeping them charged with plugging into an external electricity source. Before I would consider purchasing an electric vehicle, it should be self-charging so that a trans-continental driving trip could be sustained and made without worrying about running the batteries down and taking extra time to charge them up.
