SFGate's Extreme Makeover

(An aside: remember when Extreme Makeover was a watchable show? When people received much needed, extensive cosmetic surgery with a climactic reveal? When it didn't involve an Adderral-addict? We miss that show.)
Anyway, SFGate got its hair did. It's very different. Any thoughts?


i feel like i'm looking at the examiner or the contra costa times. they all look alike now! i also hate the fonts. bring back the serifs!
it's a bit easier to navigate and they ditched that 90s era color...I never liked how they seemed to cram the actual stories and whatnots in a corner and had all kinds of bizarro ad layouts.
still, they need to lay off the flash ads that take over the entire page...that one they did for kfc was annoying as hell...

I prefer the old set up but hey, I'm sure I'll get used to the new one. It was a shock to see that yesterday!
it's purdy!
