The "Ol' Gray Lady" Ain't What She Used to Be; New York Times Redesigns Web Site; It's All Good

New York Times Digital, the online publisher of the New York Times, has just rolled out a redesigned Web site for the esteemable broadsheet. The new home page layout for the American newspaper of record looks more newspaper-like, more "frontpagey, if you will, above the digital fold. At first glance, the changes might not be so apparent, but on close inspection, especially as one scrolls down the home page and clicks through to deeper levels of the site, some of the changes are more obvious. The year-long effort to redesign the site seems to have made the NYTimes.com seem wider, packed with more upfront content, but with more space to accomodate it too. We give it the thumbs up. The paper explains its reasons for the updated look in A Letter to Our Readers. (Domo arigato for the tip, Jess.)
