When no such source is available, either because the story is "developing",<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> with little known details at the time, or is an exclusive scoop, a special page is created on the Drudge Report servers, which contains text and sometimes images. Stories on the site are ascribed different levels of importance, which Matt Drudge rates at his editorial discretion. The Report almost always holds one major story above the masthead logo, usually just one sentence hyperlinked to the most important story of the day. Other stories surrounding the main headline can be found in the upper left-hand side of the page and link to more specific articles dealing with aspects of the headline story. The standard story, either the headline or links below the logo, is written in black.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> The majority of stories are laid out in three columns beneath the <a href="/wiki/Nameplate_(publishing)" title="Nameplate (publishing)">masthead</a>. At the bottom of each column are various links: newspapers and magazines in the left column, columnists in the middle column, and a collection of wire service links and miscellaneous links to archives, e-mail, site stats, and a box to submit anonymous tips at the right. "Weather Action," a static page of links to weather data, and "Quake Sheet," with <a href="/wiki/Earthquake" title="Earthquake">earthquake</a> monitoring, each have their own hosted page on the Drudge Report servers. The newest stories and those Drudge considers most important are in red, all under a single major headline in large bold type. For especially important breaking stories, especially if they are still emerging, Drudge places art of a flashing red light on the screen.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> Although the site initially featured very few images, it is now usually illustrated with five or six photographs.
