Our redesigned site

We are putting the final touches on a redesign of our web site. You can get a preview of our new look by clicking here.

Here's some of what we said in an introduction to changes that we have made. We'd like to hear what you think:

We have made many changes, some big and some small. Let's talk about some of the big ones.

• Here's one cool feature. Go to the "Index" tab on the main toolbar at the top of the home page. When you click on it, you will find links to all of the sections on our web site.
  
• Go to our News Grid and customize what you want to see. Click on the "Customize your news" link and choose from a menu of all kinds of stories on our site.
  
• At the top of the home page, you'll see our "Featured Stories" showing you some of the best stories, photos and videos of the day. We have a deep and rich site, and we wanted to show you more of our stories and visual content.
  
• Our search has been expanded to include items from our popular blogs, as well as our photo galleries and videos.
  
• We have given the weather more prominence on our home page, including a quick way to find out what it's like at the beach and in the mountains.
  
• We've added convenient tabs at the top of our story pages to help you navigate easily between the article, photos, videos and comments.
  
• Our new Support Center will help you get answers to your questions and find a knowledge base that can help you get the most out of our site.
