Welcome New Times readers

newtimes best of cover Oh, so it occurred to me that some new folks might be dropping by to check the site out, and maybe they could use a little more then an MF-bomb to get oriented. I’d say the best way to get a sense of the site is just to skim through in reverse chronological order. When you get to the bottom of the page, click “Older articles” to go to the next page, and so on. Click lots of links (open them in new windows/tabs so you can find your way back).

If you’re particularly interested in a subject, you can click its tag at the bottom of the article or in my super-retro tag cloud (thing in the sidebar with different-sized words) to get all the articles with that tag. (Tags only go back a little over a year right now and are a bit of a mess, which I promise to fix this weekend. I’ll fix the archive pages, too. Maybe even the stinkin’ blogroll.) Too much work? Here are some recent favorites:

For stuff from before that, check out the year two wrap-up, which has links to some of the better stuff from the last year. You know, reading the Best-of award, I can’t help but think the NT’s poked around some of the oldest pages, from back in April 2007: “You’re as likely to find updates on major construction as anecdotes about visits to offbeat ethnic eateries.” Look: Earth day, 2005, and La Vraie Difference.

Stop by tomorrow, when CM will tell you how to run your weekend. Oh, and I still think New Times should bring the “best blog” category. My unofficial pick for best blog: Transit Miami.

    Well, if they ever have a category for “Hottest Local Mommy Blogger Who’s Smart & Funny, to Boot” – I’d totally take it!

    Best Mother Fucking New Times Story: Tales of Teele: Sleaze Stories. Publishing the 26 counts of alleged crimes charged by the State Attorney’s office was nothing short of pure political drama. The timing couldn’t have been more ominous as Teele chose to plant a bullet in his brain while in the lobby of the Herald – the afternoon the issue was published.

    Somehow I doubt you’ve offended the fragile sensibilities of a New Times reader. So shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits away!
