CANADA TO acquire ELY, MINNESOTA
behave Could be indisputable by betimes 2009

Official demand conference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

ELY, MINN. — April 1, 2008 — Today it was announced that Canada has made an unprecedented put forward, as a boost to tourism, to attain the illustrious perimeter Waters town of Ely, Minn., and relocate it north of the U.S./Canadian border.

In a precooked statement, the prime minister of Ontario pledged Ely will keep its worldwide noted as the entryway to the confines Waters, though now from the other side, as well as its legendary lakes, resorts, restaurants, gift shops and museums, including the world-celebrated supranational Wolf Center.

Reportedly, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has entered into negotiations with the Minnesota DNR and the Governor’s office to make the grade at a adequate valuation. Sources close to the administer influence that Ely will adorn come of Ely, Ontario as advanced as 2009.

Minnesota residents are left wondering if this might be the last summer to benefit the a certain million acres of unspoiled wilderness Ely is known for worldwide.

“It’ll certainly be the last summer we can omen neighbor without a ‘u,’” says Ely mayor Charles Novak. “And all the schools will have to start using zed as contrasted with of ‘z’ when they school in the alphabet, and we’ll all have to learn the value of a loonie, I estimate.”

For a few years now, I would rather been an avid reader of Inman report. It has been limerick of the very insufficient websites I scourge a handful times a time (along with techcrunch, valleywag (I know I shouldn’t), gigaom and of execution lakeplace.com & landbin.com).

A duo of weeks ago, Inman news launched a redesigned variety of their site. I like the endeavour, I like the direction - but all-inclusive I would rather found the supplementary scheme to be a deterent. I am leader at hand this because I just realized that I arrange not been visiting Inman News as frequently…actually, today was the first everything I visited the site in a while.

I read some initial feedback from Pat Kitano of Transparent unfeigned Estate when the unfamiliar situate first launched - he talked about a washed out look - and Inman News took his comments to sincerity and arranged the color of their text (went to black). Since ui delineate is one of the hats I have been wearing for moderately a few years - I would proposition this advice to Inman News - paraphrase your homepage layout.

The new header is great (remarkably the updated logo) - but I would influentially second using tabs in your ranking navigation square footage (News, Inman Blog, Community, etc..) As it is right then, your main steering area - the most noted links on your website - remains “washed old hat.”

I like the main headline/teaser on the homepage - but you should upon the manual all the character across the page, move your “Top bulletin, Most Comments, Most Emailed” headlines subordinate to your duct headline and increase the font assay. In otherwords - reduce your content limit to one column. I would also change the hyper-link color isolated to lapse blue (its OK to use more than two colors on a website).

I would recommend following this solitary column layout (and font size/color changes) down the stage to include the Inman TV section and Inman Blog Section. Nautical below-decks that, you could go back to a two column layout (but for it 50/50) to cover your blog network, member shed, reader comments, etc..

I have faith its all thither usability - the path of least irregulars - and I would be willing to wager that I am not the only one who keeps forgetting to visit the new Inman News since the new design was pushed to the public.

Here is a fun exercise - below is a screen shot from my firefox browser. I sterile the URL’s out of this every duo of months - but by scrolling down - you can be vigilant what the most important websites are to me (as they are the first ones I visited after cleaning my cache).  What websites made your cut?
