Quick Question

I just accessed this blog from a computer I don't usually access it from, and noticed that there are some weird format issues that don't show up on my machines. For instance, the archives and Org Rankings in the right sidebar are obviously misaligned (justified more and more to the right the further down they go). This has never showed up (on Firefox OR Internet Explorer) on any of the three or four computers I occasionally use to access the blog.

My question for you dear readers is whether you've noticed any such problems. If so, I need to look into it -- my gray color-scheme and red and blue links may not be the prettiest thing around (I really didn't care about that when I picked the colors), but at least things have always seemed to be reasonably organized. I'm not a fan of pages that are just plain sloppy. So -- if you've noticed issues like this, please let me know in the comments and I'll see if there's any way for me to fix them.

Question for the Masses

I received a thought-provoking comment to my most recent blog update, and I wanted to put the question out there for anyone who wanders by and feels like answering. A (previously regular) reader named Brock had this to say:

I have to say that I liked your site a lot more when you just were doing nightly notes and other posts like that. You can get minor league updates from a few other sites like Sethspeaks.not. I found your nightly notes posts very interesting and a good read, however I have almost stopped reading your site since you began doing regular minor league reports.

I don't actually disagree with Brock. The Down on the Farm reports that I put together are very formulaic -- there certainly isn't a lot of my "voice" in them -- but from previous comments and e-mails that I've received, I know that some people like them because they can check in once a week and get an idea of who's playing well. I feel that this is slightly different from Seth's excellent coverage, which is usually more day-to-day and so requires more of a commitment from the reader. The DOTF reports also take a long time to prepare (even in their formulaic format), which certainly does often leave me uninterested in putting together a Nightly Notes column the same night that I put up a DOTF (although that might change once the semester is over and I get more free time -- hard to tell).

So the question is this, for any and all who care to comment -- is there any reason to keep doing these posts? Would it make more sense to provide commentary every two weeks, say, that takes a more qualitative (and hence less numbers-oriented) look at what's been going on in the minor league system? Would something else work even better? I really would like to hear your thoughts on the matter as I take a few days (mostly) off to finish up my work for the semester. Either way, Brock, I do intend to get back to posting regular Nightly Notes columns, so hopefully I haven't yet lost you as a reader.
