Really, the new design is quickly taking what used to be (before the recent versions) one of the worst web sites to explore to one of the easiest and friendly for bloggers.
New features include a list of national and foreign correspondents with a link to their recent stories.
Bloggers have been added to the Editorial Page List along with easy access to the non-Trib columnists (thank you) and letters to the editor.
Much, much easier to use and helps me find the stories I’m most interested.
It’d be nice to do the same thing with the local/state correspondents as well–though I imagine this is a work in progress. A further feature that can probably be automated and is really helpful is to link the writer’s name to their page of articles.
And get Middle East correspondent Joel Greenberg a pic that doesn’t look like he is a hostage.
The only bad news from the Trib appears to be that Bonnie DeSimone has left and is writing for other outlets–she was the single best cycling newspaper writer in the country.
