The Fix: New and Improved
With a new year, a new administration and a new member of the Fix family, we thought now would be the right time to debut the new Fix look (and we are not talking about my haircut).
As you can tell, the Fix design has changed for the better -- a "search" function, more easily accessible links to our Twitter, Facebook and You Tube sites and a cleaner look that will hopefully allow for easier perusal of our content and a better overall user experience.
The new Fix template is just the start however as we will be tweaking the blog in a variety of ways -- including the addition of more video -- to make it as interesting (and innovative) as we can.
So, stay tuned. And, as always, we value reader thoughts so if you have anything you want to see in the Fix that isn't currently here (aside from a new author) let us know in the comments section.

Can the ailing newspaper industry afford such elaborate upgrading?

It would be nice to have a link on the sidebar that accesses all the previous week's Friday Lines. I really like to review them and so who is up and who's down thru the different weeks.

That's quite a smirk you have on your face Mr. Cillizza. You appear to be having way to much fun at your work. Go forth and slog through an excel spreadsheet or somethin', will ya?

RE: "Target" surveillance/profiling
For cautionary example of what unrepentant dissidents term "lame psy ops," you are directed to recent entries in "comments" section of internet "blog" "articles" linked below.
When analyzing said humint responses to "target" postings, reference this exigent statement of inquiry:

"we value reader thoughts so if you have anything you want to see in the Fix that isn't currently here ... let us know in the comments section."
I value the former style of offering analysis & reporting of stories I might have otherwise missed. The recent 'news aggregator' style of the fix is less appealing. Friday Line is still a good feature. "White House Cheat Sheet" falls short.

you could just use the synonym Obama for the phrase "white house cheat".

If the White House Cheat Sheet is going to be a regular feature, find a better name.

No friday line?
Totally ruined my friday chris.
The Line makes me say TGIF once a week, guess not today...

Obama is not up to speed. Don't take my word for it. Ask Maxine waters. Trillions in deficit for decades. Insulting old ladies and handicaps.
The truth will set you free. Libs assaulting freedom daily and then lies.

enough with the goo goo clustering, we need dirt. My only suggestion for the political sites is that you take this cave man concept to another level, something like a 2nd life meets Street Fighter iv.... So you set up a WaPo icon, put a soapbox in front and while avatars blither on with their comments, we other avatars can throw vegetables (sold to us by WaPo). You could really make money if you allow us to buy extra credits for like chains and maybe motorcycles so we can cruize by and chain the speaker. Just trying to help you yuppie muffins see the future.

Getting close. The left sidebar does not render properly under Firefox 3.
And the author is great, but the new photo is not. It looks like a local newspaper columnist trying to convey what a wacky guy he is.

Hi Chris
Really like the new look. (Some comment moderation might be nice!)
Hope Charlie is doing well
