worst goddam newspaper site redesign EVER




YES let's take an OK site design and make it REALLY shitty in terms of aesthetics
AND usuability! Let's make it look like a generic Wordpress blog, which everyone else has
already switched to and make online news a shitty generic wasteland of irrelevant bullshit!

The Toronto Star has really fucked this up. I've tried to give the redesign a chance over the
past month but other than bookmarking a couple select columnists and blogs, it seems better
to just read the Globe and NY Times (which both still look and work like newspaper sites).

You might want to check out the Guardian's site too. Probably a bit closer to the Globe's than the Times', a little more colourful, maybe a tad busier, but still quite a useable site that allows you to browse headlines and quickly go to the stories you want.
