Seb’s weblog

Dear Trent,

Your website sucks. Deeply. Oh, not as much as, say, voyage-sncf (which is the high level standard for suckage), but it sucks in its own way. It sometimes looks (and works) like a weblog or even a photoblog, but there’s no history. And when you’re posting 5-6 photos in a row, only crackheads doing a reload every minute can have a chance to pick all of them.

Your website sucks. And to compensate the high suckage level of your website, people built their own website posting everything you post there. But like I said, if they don’t have enough crack incoming, they might miss a post every now and then.

There are different solutions. You could probably enable full content in the corresponding feed, this way we will at least be able to see the content and you won’t have to change the visual aspect of your site, if that’s the problem. And this way, we don’t have to think about the thousands of fan comments (“I love you, Trent”, “come play to my house”, “alessandro is so sexy”, etc…). And I know you can post this content to the full-content feed, because you just do it for the “real” news. Another solution would be to post those pictures on flickr. It’s not like it would be difficult, again, since you’re already doing it for a selection of photos. Having pixelised phone camera pictures in the middle of dark blurry in-concert (not even large) pictures wouldn’t be such a drama.

Thanks for listening, Trent. Think of the ki^H^Hwebsite.

PS: don’t forget to free Robin in time for the VMA. Let him rehearse a bit, I’m sure Josh can help him too.
