Irish Blogs reinvents the wheel
Grandad August 24th, 2007
What the hell is going on at IrishBlogs.ie?
They had a great site and now they have f*cked it up.
I notice Twenty had a go at them the other day [in his usual style] and so did Colm is ainm dom.
It used to be an up to date aggregate of blog posts. Now it’s…. well, I don’t know what it is. The actual blog posts have been relegated to a narrow column that disappears down through the bottom of my screen, through the floor and seems to end up somewhere in the Magma Layer.
The blog posts have been replaced with posts that seem to be more or less taken at random. They are classed as ‘Popular Topics’, but how are they chosen? The prime location is currently taken by “Marley Park Concerts”. Why? Is the whole world talking about those concerts?
To see anything on the site, I now have to scroll like the clappers, and squint at a tiny area of the screen.
I could sue them for permanent disability.
At least it’s one link less on my bookmark list.
-aAa-
Nothing is quite like seeing Ireland for yourself. If you’ve always wanted to visit the Emerald Isle learn more aboutIreland Vacations available online. Whether you want a historic tour or to play Ireland Golf courses, you can plan the trip of a lifetime.

Looks like they have succumbed to the lure of the advertising beast.
Sponsored links get to go in the main areas.
They have made it nigh impossible to read. Pity. It was usually one of my regular sites to visit.
I would love to see their stats before and after!
It’s horrific!
I’m a bit too tired to delve into it this evening, but I am not impressed with the latest iteration

Couldn’t agree more!
Someone should have a word with them. I find it virtually unreadable. The blog post font is too small and cramped, and that is supposed to be their primary content.
the site is really slow to open for me
maybe its a DDoS attack by disgruntled bloggers
I agree with everyone on this. It’s gone from being a great and very useful site to something like I don’t know what. Did they indicate why and what they are all at?
Well that’s a post that got rid of the Americans!
who is the site run by? michele neylon?
Hi Steve,
I’m sure Michele will be amused by your comment!
[see his comment above - quote - "It’s horrific!"].
I’m not sure who is running it but they should be told. Or shot.
@Steve – why would you say that???
I got confused between irishblogs.ie and irishblogs.com shoot me
