I visited the LA Times Web Site.  The Outdoors portion of the LA Times Web Site was a Macromedia Flash site of the day on October 13.  I found it interesting to see how Flash content could be integrated into the middle of the site. 

Most of the page looks very similar to the Chicago Tribune or MSNBC sites but on the LA Times site, there is  Flash video playing right in the middle of the page.  Clicking on the video opens a separate window that appears to be another Flash video. This second video  is used to display a gallery of photos.  This approach to displaying photos makes them more attractive (and probably requires less storage) then just putting them all on HTML pages.

On the negative side, if you want to see the story pointed to by the opening video, you have to register.  If you try to register and happen to pick a username that is already in use, you get an error message and have to start all over again.  After two attempts, I left the site without registering.
