New look for STLtoday.com
Not so very long ago, after noting the praise given the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for the design of its Saturday tabloid edition, I said:
Now let’s apply this clear, whitespaced, organized approach to STLtoday.com. Please?
Apparently, today is that day. The P-D unveiled a massive revision of its online analogue in a soft launch wherein more changes will be incorporated over time. The result is a website free of the clutter and constraints that hobbled its previous incarnation, one that highlights new media elements adopted by the paper over time.
LaVena, continued
On last week Friday, April 18, I closed out the LaVena Johnson petition - an appeal to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees to demand a re-investigation of the suspicious death of the young soldier from Florissant, Missouri. I had announced the end of the name-gathering phase of the petition some days in advance, and so replaced the active page with a placeholder around 11:30 pm that Friday night.
About twenty-four hours later, late Saturday night, I reactivated that webpage.
