What do you all think of DailyKos's web layout?
I've tried several times to add it to my daily obsessive-compulsive reading habits, but never succeeded. So, I'm wondering if it's just me who likes to see a large menu of diverse ideas to pick from, or is it the layout?

1. I can never find what I am looking for there ....
I used to go there a couple years ago ... but it has gotten where it is to much of a hassle to find anything. I have a Diary somwhere on that site :)

4. Phew! I thought it was me.
I know it's a source which is reaching out to mainstream Democrats because my dad says he checks in from time to time, so I hope they do something about the layout. Bill O. has already picked up on that weakness, if in an indirect way.

2. I don't know what it is; Kos dropped out of my reading habits as well
I like Talking Points Memo and This Modern World better.

6. It's quoted as a source enough, that I hope they'll make the necessary
changes.

7. I hate it, always have
Not because I'm here, but DU has the clearest layout of any of them.

8. One of the numerous reasons I'm only on DU is that it's user friendly.
I'm not techie at all, and found DU had everything in plain sight for a newbie. So easy a newbie can do it!

9. One thing is the search is pretty good
and its free, you don't even have to be registered. I search the diaries over there by keyword and it works pretty good.

but yea the way the "threads" are laid out isn't as good as DU.
