  • Serious Eats Redesign

    Hmm. I dislike change for change’s sake, but I do see what they’re going for here. And they got rid of the clunky pagination that always tripped me up. I’ll give it a chance… As of this morning, we’ve launched a site-wide redesign with three main goals: clean, attractive pages that highlight our best stories;…
