Redesigning and re-branding EN World

[CRGreathouse]

The thing with having them open in a new windown or not, is that if they don't, the people who want them to can still do so by right clivking and selecting "open link in new window", whereas if they do open in a new window, the people who don't want them too have no way around it.

So, the best thing to do is to set them so they don't. Then the people who want them to can just do so.

CRGreathouse applauds.

There is only one thing I would change about EN World, and that is please open links in new windows.... It's a pain to have to keep going back to the main page.

Otherwise i love the site.

Griz.

The easiest way to do this is to hold down shift when clicking on a link and it will open in a new window.

Nah the easiest way is to use Mozilla, middle click and open it in a new Tab. If you haven't tried tabbed browsing yet, you should, it is the best thing since browsers were released imo

So, what we're possibly looking at here is, essentially, saying goodbye to EN World and creating something new and fresh from the ashes. The content will all be the same, of course (I'm not planning on losing anything).

Since you also mentioned something about not wanting to become primarily a forum for press releases, I'd suggest thinking about making the site bipartite (sort of a frontpage/backpage) idea along the lines of how a newspaper segregates sections). That would allow you to focus in on the content in different ways in each section - and you could even farm out the industry news to someone else if you wanted.
