The Courier-Journal has updated its website. The background is no longer various shades of green, but three tones of blue and one of white. The text is sans-serif. The paper even covered the change, which includes some alterations to the comments. Readers can now give comments a thumbs up or thumbs down, and you can log into the sight through Facebook, rather than a separate C-J account. It will be interesting to see how that changes the sometimes divisive (and sometimes insulting to me!) comment section.
Keeping in the true spirit of the Internet, early commenters were dismissive of the change.
What do you think?

About time the C-J decreased the clutter on their web site. Now if we can get them to publish a Kindle version of the newspaper, we can pretend they have reached the 21st century. I do like the redesign of their web site. Much easier to read and loads much faster.
