Looks nice -- But where is the advertising? It's a bit easier to make good designs if you don't have to design around advertising - which is how these sites make money??? Basically take away your right column and that is where your ads will go -- but then it starts to look like the current Washington Post...

Otherwise, nice and pretty

A brilliabt work. Clean, clutter-free, great visual hierarchy. I'd like to see more online newspapers like that.

The "real-newspaper" look instills me with confidence that the content-creators are professional and trustworthy and that the newspaper is worth reading; also I like the illusion of bite-sized content that I can manage (I tend to wander a lot around the internet link-jumping to endless pages of interesting information - That's how I got to your site, BTW). I often read paper newspapers end to end. I never acomplished that with online newspapers - the information just keeps adding up, link after link, getting me fatigued with information overload, keeping me allways unsure I got the relevant news, or that their quality is actually on par with the offline news.

There are lots of nice touches here and there, usefull info placed where it's relevant and all.

I have a problem feeling that online newspapers are much too "dynamic" for my taste, but that's the nature of the Internet. What I basically want is a newspaper that I can read completely and then put down without the feeling of "man, I'll never finish reading all that" - Links allways send me to endless places.

For me the perfect online newspaper is one with your design and which provides me with a bite-sized experience. Hope that helps :)
