I've got to agree with the current speaker on the program. I find the Oregonian website unappealing in lots of ways. It's difficult to navigate. It has little visual appeal or interest. (The version I just found when I logged in is a vast improvement over the layout it's had since I moved here a few years ago.) When I visit the site, even now, however, I see little that makes me want to keep reading or to read things I wasn't already looking for. Surely, in these economic times in a city of hip, young, creative people, there have got to be some Web designers who'd love to help the Oregonian develop a Web presence that is effective.  As good as paper as the Oregonian is (I read the printed version daily), it should be leading the pack online, but it isn't right now.
