The Progress has gone to the new, narrower page size that’s become more common. Remember when the Post got narrower a few years ago? Same deal.

I guess that’s one of the reasons they aren’t called “Broadsheets” anymore.
Narrow is fine if it’s centered. Otherwise, anybody above 1024 x 768 is going to feel like they have to keep looking to the left for everything.
Personally, I find that an awkward way to read online, which is why I have a GreaseMonkey script that centers everything on the Post’s web site… and changes the font.
Actually, it’s the physical newspaper that’s been redesigned, not the website, though I can appreciate that’s not obvious from this tiny little blog entry.
Unfortunate to see this happen and not unexpected…but it was a little pathetic over the weekend when the DP tried to pass this off as a positive initiative in “going green” (ie. saving some trees). If that’s the real motivation why don’t we just skip all the slow bleeding and go straight to a web only site.
Maybe it’s making money. Many small papers do. There are still 30,000 people around here who want obits and TV listings and news on plain paper.
You mean there’s a print version?
