: : A clusterf**k. The old site needed to be taken up a few notches, yes, because of slow page loads and a clunky feel at times, but this is like they were going for more of a SunTimes.com look which is SO the wrong direction.

: The old site was fine. The new one is cluttered and the newer Breaking News feed is too small and hard to use.

I have the tribune widget, it's very easy to use.
It does lack the visual impulse, you get when you see a photo and want to read the article that goes with it. It's just headlines that link to artciles, and broken up by sections.
Just get the widget. I love that.
