You’ll see a lot more of it in the coming weeks and we’ll let you see the new front page in beta, as an option, before we make the switch permanent. But for those of you who are regular readers of the site, I wanted to give you some background on how the redesign came about and some of the priorities that guided us in putting together the design.
