Meanwhile I received this from FT.com

Worth checking out as www.iht.com works on its planned Q1 '09 move to www.nytimes.com.

Usual talk of community and blogs.

Why has it taken this damn long for papers like this to get with it? What is it with them?

Dear FT.com reader,

Here's a sneak preview of our new-look homepage, which launches this week. We're aiming for a more sophisticated look and feel that is consistent with the Financial Times brand - a clean and uncluttered executive briefing on the world of global business.

This is the first step in a series of design changes and functional improvements that will be rolled out across the rest of the site as they become available. These include:

• expanded coverage of important subjects such as macroeconomics,
  energy and technology


• better integration between market data and news, to give context
  to market movements


• more opportunities for users to become part of the Financial Times
  community by contributing to our discussion forums and blogs
  
  Of course, many of the things we're working on we hope you'll hardly notice at all. Planned improvements to the behind-the-scenes nuts and bolts of our publishing system will make the site quicker and easier to use. Please bear with us while we get there.
  
  
  For a preview of the new-look homepage and to give your feedback, please visit here.
  
  We hope you approve and we appreciate your views.
  
  Sincerely
  
  
  Lionel Barber
  Editor, Financial Times

A PLACE IN THE AUVERGNE

LOOKING FOR A CHRISTMAS BOOK GIFT TO BUY?
"Books about cosmopolitan urbanites discovering the joys of country life are two a penny, but this one is worth a second glance. Walthew's vivid description of the moral stress induced by his job as a high-flying executive with the International Herald Tribune newspaper is worth the cover price alone…. Highly recommended." The Oxford Times
