Random comment: Whilst the new site design makes everything alot more clean
and tidy, like some of the visitors, I am having difficulty reading the
content (some said that it was because of too much 'breathing space'?) And
for whatever reason, the sectional content (not the left navigation) doesn't
jump out at me anymore, unlike before... it seems a little bit washed out,
where the headlines/titles seem to merge with the content text. Is it
possible to consider making them a bit bolder and the content text a little
darker?
And I absolutely agree with some other comments: where's the link to the
weather? Hehe.
I'm sure I'll get used to the new site (as I've done with The Times Online),
but I'm not sure about the new bar at the top. Still love the fact that the
top stories/most emailed/navigation is still the same though. Thanks for
keeping them!
