It looks like CBS is realizing that people can’t navigate all that gray and they’ve decided to add more pictures in their latest redesign. It may be baby steps but at least we know they’re headed in the right direction. Let’s see if this becomes the redesign trend of the summer. I’m hopeful.
“We had a few key goals with this CBSNews.com redesign — make the site easier to navigate, more visual, faster and highlight our unique content.”

Big whoop, it just looks like a joomla site that anyone can download and customize. At least they are trying…

The editors get A for visual variety but still a lot of round heads blankly starting at me. Editing images to look great when played the size of a peanut is tough. Next industry challenge: make those tiny boxes more than picture placeholders. That could be an entire conference seminar: How to fill 200 pixels with a big photo the means something.

This is just Joomla, you say? Could it be just Drupal, also?
Is the site really easy enough for “anyone [to] download and customize.”
Just curious, if so, point me in the right direction for doing a site like this myself.
