I'd pay big money for a Blade subscription if the article pages looked something like this:

bq. http://toledotalk.com/last-alarm.html  - --(blatant copyright violation. will remove later.)--

Instead of this:

bq. http://www.toledoblade.com/Police-Fire/2014/01/31/Last-Alarm-rings-for-fallen-heroes.html

or this:

bq. http://m.toledoblade.com/Police-Fire/2014/01/31/Last-Alarm-rings-for-fallen-heroes.html


br. I don't need a printed paper version. I don't need an app. I prefer one website that responds *comfortably* on all devices, loads fast, no mountains of JavaScript bilge, no huge irrelevant images, no ads, no trackers and other  gobbledygook  that bog down page load speed, a large-ish font size to make the text visible, and a lot of negative space on the page.

I see no need for a bunch of navigation links in the header and footer areas of an article page. The only link needed is a link to the home page. The reader can find all the site's link cruft on the home page.

I'd pay a lot for that. Give non-paying customers the hideous views.

While not perfect, good design ideas for an article page can be obtained from this site:
