I should take a brief break from the hurlyburly here at Web 2.0 to point whatever tiny handful of my blog readers over to Salon proper, where my colleagues have, as of last night, unveiled the central piece of the site’s continuing redesign. It’s the first Salon redesign that I have mostly sat out of, from my on-leave perch this year. It is, naturally, a collaboration by many great people. But if those of you with longer memories detect a certain feeling of connection with previous Salon designs of the mid and late ’90s — elegance and openness — that’s the hand of Mignon Khargie, Salon’s original design director, who returned to lend her sharp talents to the project.
There are, inevitably, kinks to work out, and some features that still need to be rolled in. But it’s great to see Salon beginning to evolve again. For a few years in the early part of this decade, we devoted a lot of energy simply to survival. Now we’re able to change and grow again.
