Cleaning the clutter

I suppose I'm still considering Prof. Fink's newspaper management class, but I cant help but wonder why the abh continues to clutter the website...They have the same concept, "spotted" as say the Washington Post's "Day in Photos" but only one site makes me want to look at the photos, the other I pass off are more advertising. Just wondering what yall thought could be different to catch the reader's eye ...

I would say that "spotted" is definitely more cluttered than the Washington Post's day in photos. The things that make the WP's photo page work are as follows:

1. you can control the viewing speed of photos or chose an autoplay function, whereas spotted just randomly plays photos on a loop (no interaction)

2. there are no flashing ads (hint hint spotted!)

3. the page is cleaner and devoid of clutter and unrelated material
