Hey everyone. So, the new front page design is up and running. Right now, we have the option of switching back and forth. I’m curious to know what YOUR thoughts are on this new design. Having been around for the rollouts of DK 4 and DK 5, I know this can be a controversial subject. So, let me regale you with my personal thoughts. NOTE: I have no association with elfling or her team, nor am I on staff. I’m just a regular user like you.
NOTE 2: Can someone provide the link to elfling’s diary outlining all the details of the new design?
First, some pros: I like how they have the lead FP story in the center and prominent. Other FP articles bracket the latest story. As you scroll down, you get larger links for recommended and recent diaries, way better than looking at the side of the page with small writing. Third, there are sections with the latest diaries in important areas: elections, comics, petitions, and so on
Some cons: I’m not sure how the FP stories are organized, past the newest one. I’m busy at work, so I check the FP after 7 hours of school, and I often, using the old design, am able to scroll all the way back to where I left off. Actually, that’s the only con for me. Just a confusion of how the FP stories are organized on the left and right. The other sections have numbers, and a clear order to the stories from newest to oldest.
So, anyway, what do y’all think? Answer the poll and comment
