Brace yourselves

My colleague Lex Alexander announces "we will be launching our redesigned site sometime Monday morning." That's Monday, July 11. There's a couple reasons I'm telling you this:

  • If you try to tune in here (or any of our N&R sites) and think things look odd or aren’t working quite right, there’s a reason.
  • There will be significant link rot.

    Link rot is when stories or pages that a blogger links to rot away, giving you some frustrating error message when you try to follow them.

    Sometime Monday morning, this will happen to pretty much any N&R story that anyone has linked to ever. That includes all the N&R links from this blog. Sorry folks, but this is the price of progress.

    By the way, if you have comments about the redesign, send your cards and letters here.
