Jul 23 2007Site Update
Sorry for the lack of updates. We tried to make the redesign a smooth transition but there were a lot more technical kinks than we anticipated. If you haven't noticed, the redesign is kicking our server's ass. I asked our technical guy what's up and he told me that when he opened up the server a family of bats flew out. Go figure. Anyway, we're working on getting everything fixed so thanks for your patience.

There is NO excuse for lack of posts regarding Kim Kardashian's ass--I don't know what to do with myself...
4. The Everlasting Crusader - July 23, 2007 9:45 PM
Whats the deal with the flicking of the images?
Other then that, looks pretty much like before, but then again i just started coming to the front page, so who knows.
Either way, take your time :)

Is it just a coincidence that the nav is almost a pixel-by-pixel copy of apple.com's nav? Colors, dimensions, text style are almost identical. You may want to ask your designer about that.
Other than that, it's pretty classy.
10. Rob - July 23, 2007 10:13 PM
Why did you steal Apple's navigation?
11. Kristin - July 23, 2007 10:14 PM
It looks good.

13. SexyBeach - July 23, 2007 10:26 PM
I like it a lot, much easier to read, well except when Kellizhottie (aka I type all my s's with ZZZZZZZZs) is on here.
14. Binky - July 23, 2007 10:37 PM
I like the new design.
But seriously - I think the site needs more ads cluttering the page and more of my 9-11 rants.
15. Binky - July 23, 2007 10:40 PM
But then again - there's worse places than Bikini Beach I suppose.
( I think the site may have been taken over by 'Martha and the Muffins)
(Crib : Google 'Echo Beach')

new design looks good!!!!!! luv ya!
24. cechols - July 23, 2007 11:11 PM
I know iwatchstuff.com is your sister site, but you pretty much just swiped the design straight from there, changed the header image and background color, and turned "So Freaking Cool" into "So Freaking Hot."
Don't get me wrong, I love the way iwatchstuff looks. But surely you could have made the new Superficial design a little more original.
25. LL - July 23, 2007 11:15 PM
RE design: eh, it's a redesign. it looks a little better. The fact is, there are only a couple of ways to design a site in such a way that it doesn't make a visitor want to gouge their own eyes out. At least most of the text isn't tiny white type on a dark background, that shit is hard to read.
As long as we can still get pictures of Britney's big fat ass, all else can be forgiven.
26. Italian Stallion - July 23, 2007 11:17 PM
I say we blame it on Michael Vick, I mean, Ron Mexico too..............
27. whoneedsenemies - July 23, 2007 11:24 PM
Stealing shamelessly from www.geekologie.com eh? Wait, it's the same guy running both sites!
Exciting.......

33. General Zod - July 24, 2007 12:02 AM
Is this run by WordPress? If so, I STRONGLY urge you to use WP-cache. It'll save your server a huge load. It has saved my site many times when I get Dugg or Slashdotted or Farked.
34. piglet - July 24, 2007 12:07 AM
have not noticed any site problems on my end, looks really awesome tho!
35. kelly - July 24, 2007 12:10 AM
maybe it's ALL THE FUCKING ADs that are slowing the god damn site down.
not that this site was ever on time anyway, you are always slow and far behind the others, but I still prefer it for some reason.
The "new" site is shit and all the important content is squished into a tiny rectangle going down the screen. WHY do that
36. kelly - July 24, 2007 12:13 AM
going down the middle of the screen *
37. EuroChic - July 24, 2007 12:23 AM
Your site is so stupid, it's way too slow....that's probably because you're a fat lard ass that can hardly get off the couch and turn on your PC..like the rest of you FAT UGLY AMERICANS! WOO HOO!
38. JessBlue - July 24, 2007 12:28 AM
It's cool. Aparently the server will be the downfall of our society. We will all learn this in a short amount of time, any way, I love your site and love the writers. . .and yes, I did mean to spell all those words wrong and leave in grammical errors. What's wrong with a bit of style 'round here?
39. zuzuspetals - July 24, 2007 12:33 AM
I don't like this new pink background- it's too intense. There's also too much going on now on the front page - can you put it back the way it was, and sue somebody for the heavy-handed upgrade?
just wonderin'
40. sam - July 24, 2007 1:05 AM
man...there were barely any updates anyways...
whatevs
41. Gillian Cory - July 24, 2007 2:25 AM
Hi - my business is also in websites so I fully understand. Don't care either - your site brings so many laughs a day between clients and technology for myself and my designers. We all love The Superficial.
You have truly hit a winning formula.
Hope to get a client soon who can advertise, although we are in South Africa so the rates may be a bit to high.
However, I do visit your site a few times per day to get that all needed laugh.
42. Jenn ♥ - July 24, 2007 3:30 AM
Love the new site :)
Who cares if it's similar to something else??
It's still hot ! x
43. Telly - July 24, 2007 4:28 AM
It's ok no one really reads this site anymore anyway. You guys FELL THE FUCK OFF

My ex husband blames it on the Mexicans (he's Hispanic) - I told him the Mexicans don't want him blaming shit on them but he doesn't listen to me now any more than when we were married.
47. Murphy - July 24, 2007 8:26 AM
Please fix the site soon! Work is way too boring to deal with without you guys!
I just started coming here...but I think it is a really nice design.

**BREAKING**
Lindsay Lohan Busted for DUI for Second Time in Less Than a Year
Tuesday, July 24, 2007
BEVERLY HILLS, California — Pop tart Lindsay Lohan was busted for DUI early Tuesday in the second time in less than a year, TMZ is reporting.
The troubled 21-year-old actress’ arrest happened about 2:15 a.m. in Santa Monica, Calif., near Pico Boulevard and Main Street, according to the gossip site.
Lohan had just checked out of rehab earlier this month and a few days later surrendered to police over a drinking-related car crash she had in May.
49. Bite Me! - July 24, 2007 9:43 AM
WTF!!! The Lindsay story has been out for over an hour now and still nothing!!
50. Tricia - July 24, 2007 9:55 AM
OMG: http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/arts/entertainment-lohan-drunk.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
51. Kamihi - July 24, 2007 10:06 AM
Sorry but for what my opinion is worth I prefer the wider section for the articles.
Kate Moss and Pete Doherty though - something better to tide us over please!
52. Leslie - July 24, 2007 10:07 AM
I love your site! Dont worry about it being down, we know it will be up soon! Yeah there are a lot of other gossip sites up but yours is the most hilarious because of your commentary. I mean it is like the time when you went on vacation during memorial day and said to never go on vacation when stupid girls are doing things like Lindsay did then!
Or if you go on vacation and might need to make a telephone out of two coconuts and wires! You add the freaking hysterical comedy to why we love reading about these bitches and why they are so sad!
Love you!
53. eaglepupil - July 24, 2007 10:09 AM
Speaking/writing of our bud "Vick"---We could fight the bats! Yeah! They could go at it and we could post the bat fight pictures on my site! Then we could feed their corpses to black-eyed pandas and dance naked on Tammy's grave!
I can see it now--I can have a bat breeding empire and sell pedigree white bats for $1000's of dollars to Kate Moss and tell her the dust from their wings is a special kind of cocaine.
54. Frist!!! - July 24, 2007 10:12 AM
Jimbo, I'm going to kill you ass. Hookers for breakfast, they better of been girls.
55. FRIST!!! - July 24, 2007 10:12 AM
Ok it took me 10 minutes to figure out the freaking Home button is Celebrities. Lame
Hey, Bite Me, good morning. Is that true anout L.L.? She just got a brand NEW DUI or is it the one frm when she crashed her car before rehab?!?!?
56. lidiya - July 24, 2007 10:13 AM
I would not have sex with this site. It is seriously disgusting. Seriously. When will this whore site get its act together?

58. wedgeone - July 24, 2007 10:16 AM
The LiLo story gets even better!
"Lohan, who is already facing a drunken driving charge in Beverly Hills, was pulled over near the Santa Monica Police Department after authorities spotted her car chasing another vehicle, said Sgt. Shane Talbot.
Authorities conducted a field sobriety test and then transported Lohan to the police department.
The 21-year-old actress was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a suspended license and POSSESSION OF COCAINE, among other charges, Talbot said.
Police found COCAINE in one of her pants pockets during a pre-booking search, Talbot said."
Her lawyers are going to be busy over the next 6 months, and then LiLo's going to spend much time next to Tom Sizemore in the clink. They can share drug binging stories.
Today is the best day in history!! Thank you God!!
59. Jimbo - July 24, 2007 10:20 AM
Frist, two of them are girls and two are boys. Don't be mad, I need alot of people to get me off in the morning. You should know that. Sorry.
60. wedgeone - July 24, 2007 10:20 AM
BTW - the site is slow because the guy who posts content to the site is slow.
Ever hear of a rollback? Maybe a pilot of the new site on a staging server before you update your "production server"?
Lame, lame, LAME! Piss poor planning. All you need now is another database server crash with no backups like you had on Jan 1.
As bad as the site is, it's still better than any of it's competition. Choose the lesser of all the evils.
61. FRIST!!! - July 24, 2007 10:26 AM
Wha??? #54 is not me, and 59 isn't Jimbo
#55 was me, funny how my troll posted at the exact same time as me!!!!!
62. Nikky Raney - July 24, 2007 10:35 AM
i like the site's new look
63. FRIST!!! - July 24, 2007 10:46 AM
Is there a post yet? I gotta go to work soon
64. Frist!!! - July 24, 2007 10:52 AM
Jimbo, you could of had me this morning. I guess I'm pussy is worn out now. I guess I'll have it repair like the other whores do.
65. FRIST!!! - July 24, 2007 11:24 AM
Jimbo, because you have all those hookers this morning, I just
screw two mexicans that were delivering stuff at work. By the way, they
eat my pussy way longer than you do. They said that my pussy tasted
like smokes and rotten fish, but they didn't care. So, fuck off.
66. FRIST!!! - July 24, 2007 11:37 AM
My mugshot was so much better than hers. I must be just like her
rehab and mugshots. How do I keep my job? I'll tell you. I suck my
boss off every morning and night. He has a wife, but we have an
arrangement. I need attention like Lindsay, I just don't know what
to do with my mouth and hands. I have to have men to tell me.
67. George-o - July 24, 2007 11:45 AM
Egads get back on it boys... I've had to resort to visiting *cough* perez's *cough* crappy site.

Just wanted to say "keep up the good work" ;)
69. cechols - July 24, 2007 6:03 PM
Ok. I guess it should have occurred to me that all 3 sister sites are getting a uniform look. I don't know if that's to save time, or if it's because you want continuity...
It's a really nice template, but I still think you should make the 3 sites more unique.
70. jimena - July 24, 2007 6:12 PM
I like it! And it's easier to switch to Geekologie from here :)
71. Lowlands - July 24, 2007 7:44 PM
I think the new colors look great! The original colors could be more recognizable but i hope these new colors become as recognizable as well.
72. ScarletDove - July 24, 2007 8:00 PM
Um... I guess I'm the only one that doesn't know what STUMBLE, DIGG, REDDIT and DEL-ICI-OUS are?
73. FRIST!!! - July 24, 2007 9:36 PM
#64-66 was not me, ew....
Quit fucking trolling me you piece of shit!!!!!
63 was me...then I went to work
Just clearing that up for those who don't know me
74. dd - July 24, 2007 9:44 PM

75. Rob - July 24, 2007 11:31 PM
