Worst co-workers ever

Where is the body of the article? You are making HR hate me!

I am sick and tired of web sites that feature a teaset, which you click, then get a headline and more teaser, but still no article!

Making it even more user-unfriendly, the aritcle is subdivided over several pages. WHY?

Look, my employer measeres how many web pages I go to, and how many hits I use per month.

Just loading this page we have over a dozen hits, as images, animations and third-party site items all are marked as seperate hits by the web filtering and monitoring programs.

Those cute "Captcha" items that validate our info? five more hits each!!!

So to read this article is seven page loads (requests) and over fifty hits for images, banners, animations and include files.

Let me repeat: I have to explain to HR why I have almost sixty items of web use to read one article.

Do you think I will click future links to your web site after that???

Fighting split pages

Hey, Mr. Rosengarten,

I, too, sometimes get annoyed by multi-page articles with but little text on each page.

I would like to share a trick that might be helpful.

When I hit such a spot, the first thing I do is to try finding a "View whole article" link which gives me what I want, and in just one hit to boot.

Lacking this, there may be a "Print this"/"Printable version" link or button.

You'll usually find the links/buttons near either the top or the bottom of the page, most likely in the vicinity of the text. On this page, there is a "Print this" link almost just below the text. Funnily enough, the ""View whole article" link doesn't seem to appear unless you click to add a comment.

Anyway, either of these links or buttons will present the whole article as one big page in a printable format. It's usually less waistful of space (as well as ink and attention) because ads, animations, menus and other navigation devices are left out. Sometimes even the font is better than that on the original page.

You can subsequently print the page if you want to. More often than not, the "Print" thing will also show a print dialog, but you can just close it.

Beware, the "Print this" link/button is not always present (and that's when I really get frustrated to the point of wanting to stop reading) or just pretty hard to find. And sometimes the printing would start immediately without you getting a shot at seing the printable page at all. But, most of the time, it works.

BTW: Not that's my business, but what are you doing reading an article tagged with "humor" during working hours? :-)

And, now on a serious note: doesn't your HR have better things to do than looking over your shoulder? Apparently not. Also, what's this thing about hating?

I wish you good luck (both with finding the links and with your HR) and hope you can use the the trick.

Oh, and the squiggly letters are there for at ensure that it's only human readers - as opposed to spammers' robotic programs - send comments.

Kind regards,
Henryk Wistreich
