The site is far less readable. I find myself only bothering to read a fraction of it, as the annoyance of having to click through on each and every entry is overwhelming. Hint: look up the term "usability." The "redesign" is displeasing and leading to less exposure of the ideas, however worthy. What a shame.

When I want to read something “NYT.com-ish” I read their site.

The Wall photo was perfect. When we start talking about the neo-con baddies, can we screen-grab a headshot to illustrate the post? Hey, I agree with Khalid. The Wall photo was perfect.

The site is clean, elegant, NYT.com-ish, easily navigated, aesthetically pleasing, and a worthy showcase of the most progressive thoughts being published on the I/P website. Great work, Phil & Adam.

I sort of like the new format -- it's very clean, and easier to scan -- but without the customized photo at the top it seems a tad too neat/austere and lacking in personality. Some photos of people interspersed with the content would compensate for this I think! Keep up the great work guys; this is the best example of 'citizen journalism' that I've seen yet. matter & estebanfolsom:

The appeal of a blog is the linear presentation. You've gone to the mumbo-jumbo "scatter shit all over the page" style of Huffpo, firedoglake, etc. and other aggregator type sites. This is a serious mistake in information design. The error of your new format is that you've imposed a much bigger "hunt and search" reading requirement. You have to click through on EVERY story now to read it. In other words, you've created a TOTAL CLUSTERFUCK!!! What a damn shame. You've made the same mistake that has made so many other blogs unreadable. If it ain't broke, DON'T "FIX" IT! Your new design is a major disappointment.

It fascinated me so much that I automatically started a excerpt my favorite passages. I'll sure come back to your site. This is a really interesting video on your blog:
