The New York Times has redesigned its website. It’s a bit cleaner, but my one peeve is this: they’ve “expanded the page to take advantage of the larger monitors now used by the vast majority of our readers.” I guess I’m in the minority, then, because I prefer 1024-by-768 resolution on my modestly sized home and work computer screens, and the layout of the new Times site is too wide to be completely visible, unless the window is maximized, which I don’t tend to do. (The Washington Post site is similarly wide.) Oh, well. The most important content is on the left, anyway. I’ll get used to it. (Via NewsDesigner.com.)
Aside: As a typophile, I’ll mention that the main nytimes.com text font has changed from Times New Roman (or Times) to Georgia. You know I do love old-style numerals. Another computer font that has them is Hoefler Text, which I used on my blog a while back.
