USAToday.com content pages: Open

USAToday.com has redesigned their content pages. (Business, Sports examples.)

The look is much cleaner than the old design, which used a vertical, color-coded navigation that was scrunched into the upper left side of the page.

You can still see elements of the old look on their section front pages. (Business section example)

Coding wise, they’re still using tables, but the pages are lighter than before. Nice work.

Also, I just noticed their on deadline blog, which appears to be a constantly-updated list of the latest news of interest to USAToday editors — including links to other sites.
