Hey, Bleacher Report: Fix Your ******* Website

I love writing for Bleacher Report, but trying to use this website is getting ri-god-damn-diculous.

I cannot tell you how many frustrating issues I've been having over the past week, especially today, and it's really bothering me that these problems are still going unresolved, because I'm sure that I'm not the only one having them.

The biggest issue lies in the site's miserable "draft" feature. "What draft feature?" some of you will undoubtedly ask. "This site doesn't have a way to save drafts! Chris, you're hallucinating?"

Truth is, folks, for people like me who leave themselves logged into the website because we have a personal computer, there is a draft feature. It's just hidden...and it's the bane of my existence on this site.

Last night, I began to write an article on the Boston Bruins' salary cap situation. As it was very rough, needed a lot of work, and I was writing at one in the morning, I decided to go to bed and leave it for the next day.

Today, I woke up and realized that a weekly piece I write for OnPitRow.com and syndicate here was due. I wrote the piece there and attempted to post it here.

When I clicked the "Write" button, I saw the remnants of my article from the previous day, along with a picture that I went to use for a different Bruins-related article two weeks ago. No problem, I figured. I'll just change the photo, delete the Bruins text, paste in my OnPitRow article, and we'll be all set, right?

Wrong.

Twice I attempted to post the article; twice was I denied. When I clicked "Publish," it sent me right back here to the "Write" page, with my same Bruins text and a misaligned, uncropped version of the photo I attempted to use on the racing article.

Combine this with the many issues I get with the image finder (either Getty Images gives me six-year-old images, plays dumb and doesn't find any, or takes an eternity), and I'm pretty unamused with the technical aspects of this site now. I miss the old Bleacher Report of a year ago, when the "Write" page actually worked.

There is nothing more frustrating than attempting to use technology that simply does not do what it is designed to do. That is what happens half of the times that I attempt to use this site.

A few errors here and there are fine, but the frequency at which I experience problems is simply ridiculous. Even logging out and switching web browsers from Firefox to Safari, the same goddamn Bruins text keeps coming up. It's like a bad April Fool's Joke.

I address this to you, Bleacher Report employees and technical folks: Fix. Your. Shit.

Give us a "draft" option, so I don't keep getting malfunctions every time I leave an article unfinished, but then need to publish something different.

Make the Getty Images search more reliable.

Make it so that, when writing about the recent Braylon Edwards trade, I don't have to first say that the article is about the Browns so I can tag him, and then have to go back and select the Jets.

In other words, do your jobs to make this site less frustrating for its writers. Thanks for your time.
