Making Drudge Report more readable: 4 years running! A complete rework of drudgereport.com (well, as much as I could spackle css on such crusty html code), including an updated "web 2.0" logo, font beautification and link hover prettiness. If you don't want to see ads, you should use AdBlock Plus. Here's an awesome article on Drudge and helps explain why I and a shit ton of other newer journalists really respect him: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/16/business/media/16carr.html I appreciate any and all feedback/ratings. Please leave your comments and suggestions below and I will incorporate your ideas if they aren't superfluous! style provided by Stephen VanDyke http://vforvandyke.com/
1) Restores proper link colors so that visited links can be seen. 2) Fixes font size, type, readability and line spacing. 3) Eliminates some ads, but using Adblock and NoScript is still recommended. 4) Slightly formats site for cleaner look.
Removes ads, links that just go to the page you are already on, a lot of images. 19 December 200 - Rewritten. Removes underline from links except on hover. Links to Politico.com are red (easily removed if you don't like it) to warn you that the page will load slowly. New screenshots. 10 May 2012 - I have given up trying to get rid of the ads. As soon as I filter one out another one shows up and my ad filters remove too many images. Just use AdBlock. I've left some of the ad blocking code - REMed out - if you want to experiment. This style works well with Max width
Do you want a clean, quick way to read the headlines at DrudgeReport.com, with a clean sans-serif font? You know how hard it can be to read those headlines if you're running Linux instead of Windows, or if you're running Windows with your monitor set to a high screen resolution. Drudge Report - Stripped to the bones is clean and simple -- and easy to read. To change the headlines to any size you want, just edit this style and change "12px" and "40px" to bigger or smaller values. Don't forget to also try my other style: Reddit - Stripped to the bones. Don't forget to also try my other style: Digg 3.0 - Stripped to the bones. =========================================== DON'T FORGET TO VISIT MY WEB SITE: http://www.ComputerBob.com ===========================================
Small tweaks to the Drudge Report UI that makes it a bit more tolerable.
There were practically no dark themes for the Drudge Report, so I whipped up a quick style sheet to alleviate that omission. As an added bonus, the link colors now reflect which sites you've already visited. Given how notoriously simple the site's layout is, I do not envision updating this significantly besides minor tweaks if special Drudge features end up breaking the layout.
WHEN I LISTED "AD REMOVAL" IN THE PREVIOUS DESCRIPTION, I WAS CHOOSING MY WORDS FOOLISHLY. WHAT I HAVE DONE IS TWEAKED STEPHEN VAN DYKE'S CODE TO BETTER DISPLAY AN AD-FREE DRUDGE REPORT. YOU MUST USE ADBLOCK PLUS OR SOME MEANS MEANS OF AD BLOCKING TO ACTUALLY NOT GET ADS. Credit to Stephen VanDyke (Drudge Report Overhaul). *Maintains links that Drudge assigns red text *Maintains Drudge's italicized headlines *Maintains position of Drudge's logo, but replaces with that made by Stephen VanDyke *Now keeps Drudge's default widths for site and columns *Maintains line spacing per Drudge *Maintains link text per Drudge *Now applies to Drudge Report Archives as well!
