I don't like drastic changes ka hizo - why can't they introduce some of the changes gradually, ama contracts lazima zipewe watu.

Okay so Circle.co.ke (a Kenyan firm with international links) is responsible for the renewed effort that is www.nation.co.ke But reports surfacing show they may have copied (ahem! borrowed) from http://www.usatoday.com/

I see the change had to be done in the morning, because that is off-peak, yes the site's primary targeted at foreign audience.

It seems to load slower.

I cannot see this idea about 3 home pages (news, most read, today's paper)

I thought nation runs on wordpress? CSS experts can give us insights on this.

I prefer the old version, the articles were longer and they looked real. Hii version sasa is too hip looking for me. The stories are so brief.

The whole thing looks totally disorganised. Utter chaos! As for the font size...you need to walk away from the screen because its too big! Even if they wanted to encourage analogue guys to get digital, wearing glasses would suffice and NOT increasing the font to 48..

All in all, the old site is better and more user friendly so I might just switch to an alternative online newspaper.

That font size is too big, it's taking long to load the page, and that user-friendliness present in the 'old' website is no longer there.

My view, the old one was better esp in terms of navigation. I liked the upper bar with a link to the other publications. The new one seems like a slide-show
