Paul, I don’t think the website redesign works

Paul, 

I think the website redesign is lacking.  

Take a look at the promoted stories, e.g. the ones with images – they are all either out of date (two stories from Dec 7 and one from Nov 29) or inaccessible to non-subscribers.

The current stories are squished down below and are not immediately visible.

I think that should be reversed, since, I am guessing, most people come to your site for the latest news, not for the week old promoted stories.   

In addition, the mouseovers on the images where the title jumps is super distracting.  I’d use a much milder form of animation – perhaps a color or hue change.
