As you've likely noticed we've been rolling out our new redesign and features across Corante in recent weeks.

The new interface is, we think, much cleaner and more legible as well as provides our readers with a lot of new tools to keep on top of what our contributors have to say as well as to add to and expand the conversation. Among the new features to look for: category RSS feeds, new comment and trackback features, more accessible archives and more.

The redesign, example of which here: http://www.corante.com/copyfight/ or here: http://www.corante.com/pipeline/, aims to:

• provide a much attractive and more legible interface
  
• provide consistent navigation throughout site
  
• leverage a lot more of the MT-based features and tools that we hope will make for a better reading and tracking experience
  new features include:
  
  
  • category-specific xml feeds
    
  • xml feeds of comments
    
  • different cuts at archive pages, e.g.: example or
    
  • new sidebar "modules" we're developing that call attention to past posts/most commented on articles in an attempt to give longer shelf life to articles/comment streams
    
  • font-size chooser (almost there)
    
  • better search options
  
  
• provide real estate for us to be able to cross-promote Corante-hosted blogs and offerings
  

(Also, as Marc and others will be glad to hear, we've ironed out the issue that kept people from easily copying/pasting clips from some of our blogs.)

Our hope: it does a much better job of showcasing the writing/thinking of our contributors and provides more tools that allow readers to tune in and track our blogs. We've been getting very positive feedback from contributors and readers alike and are taking requests for additional features people would like to see.

Thoughts and feedback please, both general and specific.
