apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This was on the LA AT site like 10 minutes ago. Is it normal to be this duplicative between the individual "city" sites? I usually go to the global at.com site to read all the posts, but this is making that option less and less attractive.

Brilliant! How do I order these?

that is such a great idea, short people like me definitely need this.

Gregory just posted this!

another repeat? Reading the global site is getting annoying.

Just my take but I think the individual city sites may need to go away and all posts should only be global.
The city-aspect can remain for events, exhibitions, sales and craiglists but too many repeats are occurring at a more and more frequent rate.

There should at least a global editor that filters out this sort of overlap.

that is a cool idea :-)

Brilliant.

dear blogger,

please read the blog that you write for before you post.

sincerley,

annoyed reader

i love these! if possible, attractive strips of kitty scratching post material could be attached to the vertical slats. as they are now, i can just see my cat zeroing right over to them for scratchies.

Hey, some people don't read every single post of every site every day. I appreciate the repeats for when I'm out having a life.

Anyway...

I need this. I can't reach my top shelves at all.

(it really isn't too much of a bother to just click on to the next post if you find something that has been posted twice, is it? take a deep breath and keep a perspective, people.)

It's not much of a bother, but it does make the whole team look like they don't really know what's going on.

It actually is a bother, because they seem to be increasing the number of bloggers to expand the site, which already buries a lot of good posts by the end of the same day they're posted. Neither the bloggers nor the administration seem to check on their own threads often or demonstrate any interest in reading the rest of the blog or interacting with the commenters. This is just getting to be enough.

If they're posting the same thing in different cities, why have different cities? Now they are posting the same things in the same cities. People who didn't get a crack at it the first time because it got buried because they have too many bloggers posting too much nonsense in between the good stuff.

I happened to like this post the first time, although it is a prototype and a response to a course assignment, is not in its finished form, and may never be created for and sold to the public. Most repeated posts are kind of a lot less interesting, actually, and don't deserve to be repeated. I worry a little about what the individual bloggers' assignments are: why some have a consistent knack for finding a good topic, using good pictures, and writing beyond a tenth grade intellectual level (not just spelling and grammar, but a writerliness that isn't just some words to fill in the spaces), and some just don't seem to put a little effort beyond slapping something barely relevant up as quickly as they can get it out of the way. Are there standards? Does anyone edit them at all? It doesn't seem very difficult to become a blogger every time they ask for applications. What exactly are they looking for? What's the intent of growing this blog if it's for quantity and not quality?

These are the kinds of concerns that pile up after being bothered by so many repeated topics. When will this blog actually get better instead of just bigger?

the double post is unfortunate, but it is not a category five hurricane.

a for the step/shelves -- still a good idea regardless of your height

this would be amazing for me. Im inly 5"1 with makes my storage solutions rather limited if its things i need to get to somewhat often.
in most stores i have to ask people to get things on shelves for me. annoying. and at home i have to get chairs a lot and climb on the counter haha. i love this!

Am I the only one that thinks this looks slightly dangerous?

I used to read the site religiously. Now it has simply gotten too big. Too overwhelming = makes me not want to check it daily as I used to. People have a point here. I'm not going to check the multiple city sites. Perhaps the specialty sites (food, tech, etc.), but the multiple cities is just overwhelming and not userfriendly.
