The Tennessean’s Mark Silverman said that the paper will soon launch a redesign of its Web site, first with a “minor” effort in the next two to three weeks followed by a “major” overhaul later this summer. Silverman noted that the current site layout is a “little backward” and that the eventual redesign may look “more like a traditional Web site” and “less like a newspaper.”

I have no particular issue with The Tennesean’s main content pages, but I would welcome a redesign for the My Tennessean section. Ever since its launch earlier this year, I’ve felt like this site is confusing to navigate and that possibly the paper isn’t really sure what it wants this site to be. I personally would change the orange theme, too, but that’s an aesthetic issue, not a content concern. The paper has slowly begun to make its own blogs more noticeable and easier to find, and that’s a welcome change. I hope the forthcoming revisions will make for a more visually appealing and more accessible Web site.
