2 comments about 'Sacramento Bee launches redesign'I love the simplified look of the design! It mimics the look of many blogs, and carries the whole "Web 2.0" theme nicely.
There are a few bugs showing up while browsing the site with FireFox, and I don't think they're pushing the multimedia content strongly enough. But overall, nice work SacBee!

I think it's interesting they decided to stick with a 750px-wide content area.
