It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I was thinking just the other day what a great website Patriots.com is compared with the websites of other NFL teams. It is aesthetic, simple, offers a wealth of information in multimedia. They do a great job over there. My one complaint of late is that since NFL.com revamped, Patriots.com seems to be loading more slowly in my computer. I have cable broadband, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. As far as Patsfans.com, since last season, when this site worked at a crawl due to to server problems, we have seen an explosion in usage. It was not uncommon this offseason for 700 users to log on at any given time, a 300% increase from the previous year. Patsfans.com is becoming the hub of information and discussion for all Patriots fans worldwide, eclipsing conventional media sources. Some day in the future, sites like this will develop organically into "real" media, in full and open partnership with old-school sources like the Herald or Globe. On another note, I find Patsfans.com to have an excellent design quality, easy on the eye, logical in its presentation. Ian has done masterwork here.
Oh, I don't know about that. I would have put us at 210 or so. The other sites had some big offseason pickups, whereas we lost NEM.
