As "the same" as it may be...

I didn’t just throw the kansascity.com redesign together in 2 days to make a commenter happy. It took about 8 months, while rolling out ideas like pets and varsity, to get it to the point of where it is now. kansascity.com has about 1000 sections, receives over 31 million unique visitors a month and is THE future of The Star.

All of that is enough to make everyone of the major stakeholders try to “leave their mark” on what was supposed to be just a simple re-tooling of the navigation and advertising. I had to force my hand on any content changes just to get even a few pixels of padding here and there.
