Change your Phoenix bookmarks

The Boston Phoenix has a new look and a newish URL: www.thephoenix.com. It's actually always been there; the difference now is that if you go to the old bostonphoenix.com, you get a re-direct message for a few seconds before you're popped over (guys, if you were using Apache, I'd suggest a little hot mod_alias action so users wouldn't have to wait, but you seem to be on IIS, so go figure).

Not much time to look right now (work and all that), but one key thing for me: RSS feeds are back for their Weblogs (because you know how much I obsess over Media Log) - they also have a sorta mini-aggregator for their blogs right on the homepage now. Other key thing for me: The type is still too damn small. Pixel shortage at the Phoenix? Making the type gray only makes it worse.

My standard newspaper disclosure.

adaaaaaaaam,

Close your tiny gray font tags!

The new font is awful!

I just went to look at the Talking Politics blog, which I read periodically, and I fully agree--that new typeface sucks! Small, gray, and hard to read. Did some hip designer at the Phoenix decide that eyestrain was this season's next big thing?
