Form their site:<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>MacRumors site design has been updated.<br><br>The new design preserves the basic feel of MacRumors but brings improved "standards" compliance and improved site navigation. Raw HTML file sizes should also be reduced. <p><hr></blockquote><p>i like it, not a huge improvement but not bad at all. <br><br>

Raw "standards" compliance, but not any creativity. Looks like they took a blog program and just applied the standard template to it.<br><br>

That's what I said. Plus it looks like they took their tabs from a List Apart's "Sliding Doors" article without even redoing the graphics. If that's any indication of their level of effort, why would I ever want to visit the site?<br><br>

A big improvement. Not too creative, but if I can read stuff in an orderly manner and it looks halfway decent, that's really all I care about when it come to sites like that. <br><br>
