Wired Redesign: I Like.

If you’re a regular reader of the Wired blogs (like I am), you may have noticed the series of redesigns throughout the past few weeks on Wired.com. A site redesign is a big decision for a widely read blog (or family of blogs) to make. You want to keep moving forward with creative and user-friedly additions, but you don’t want to alienate your readership by trying to get too fancy or by adding extraneous features. Looks like Wired is bouncing back from a recent redesign that provoked some pretty “frank reader reviews.” Some of the highlights of their most recent redesign from their first redesign: A ‘River of News‘ aggregator; tabs for most e-mailed stories and real time updates to the web’s hottest links from Reddit; and variable headline font sizes so you can distinguish ‘big news’ from, well, ‘news.’ I think they’ve improved on their old design with some thoughtful, intuitive additions. What do you think?
