speaking of pitchfork
What's up with their new page layout(s) incorporating more photos and video? For instance, this page looks as if some 5 year old has been playing with the HTML.
The mix of randomly-sized large and small photos looks really clunky. They could start by at least centering some of the larger ones to the middle of the column. Even more, some of the photos, like the one used on this news brief, are enlarged beyond their intended size and pixelated to the point of looking like total shite.
Last and maybe most important of all, there's no padding between the images and the text aligned to the side of them. See the photos on this page? There is space between them and the text. This is basic, commen sense HTML tagging and frankly I'm surprised that Pitchfork, being as high-profile and widely read as they are, would let this short of junk design slide.
