I haven't received an Email news letter since it started and they don't respond to emails, tried re-registering to no avail. The new site is cumbersome, time consuming and a 'Disneyish' attempt for popularity. Now I have to reluctantly rank The Scotsman's web site marginly better. Would appreciate your current comments . Thanks. Alan Oh walie waile waile The Herald’s old site worked and now they have gone and fixed it.

I can't understand why their leaders are so blinking dim about this. Anyway, there is no point in me preaching to you as you said it all. I used to be assistant ed of the Herald but left when things started to really head downwards a few years back. I'm now a freelance writer with a specialism in adventure, outdoors, fitness and health. But I'm now writing more and more for websites. I'm in the process of sorting a my own website that will grow (hopefully) from my (admittedly rather basic) blog. Webs are so much more fun, lively and in-the-minute than any newspaper. Thanks for saying out loud what I've been going on about to pals for years... PS I think we may have met at a leaving do years back. But then again, there have been a lot of Scottish newspaper leaving dos!
