Survey: The NYTimes New "Home" Section

We're a little slow, be we realize that the NYTimes has been making dramatic changes to our favorite section, House & Home (or Home & Garden as it's called on the web), over the past few weeks and months. Most notably, we were shocked to see that it is NO LONGER called House & Home, but is simply called Home. In this new digital age, everything seems to want one name. There are a number of other changes too, like enlarging Currents, blowing up type fonts and getting rid of Room to Improve and the Q&A. What do you think? (and while we're at it, do you think the guys climbing up the NYTimes new building yesterday were disgruntled "Home" readers?)

Not everyone's home is a house. 'nuff said.

Looks exactly the same on the web...

I know this isn't a graphic design blog, but referring to the paper's typography or typefaces as "type fonts" sounds uneducated to me.

This is like saying a sofa chair ;)

Who cares?

Also, did anyone read the article on the front page? "Peter Rabbit Must Die"? HILARIOUS!

I think this section has been a huge bore for years. They have maybe 4 articles tops and they're not that interesting. I skip it most of the time.

I agree K T G, that article does get a bit over-the-top, and I really don't mind people referring to typefaces as "fonts"; just don't call them "type fonts"! :)
