Check out Fixing Chron.com for some in-depth critiques of the look and usability of the new Houston Chronicle website. Dwight, I’d be very interested to know what you think of this fellow’s ideas. His alternate front page and search suggestions are particularly interesting.
Laurence, of course, spots something that the rest of us overlooked. For what it’s worth, the feedback to James Campbell is strongly negative. Some of that is to be expected with any change, but this is pretty vehement. I doubt that the pleas to “change it back!” will be taken up, but I daresay we’ll see some tweaks resulting from all this in the coming days.
One thing I just noticed today is that the Op-Eds index page now has a “Blog Watch” section, in which there are links to a posts on a variety of (I presume) local blogs. I’d love to know who’s in charge of that feature.
There’s more orange there than at a Whataburger. I’m hungry.
Kuff:
I’m doing the blog post links for now. That may or may not change.
Dwight.
