		scott_s on July 26, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Andy Rutledge Redesigns NYTimes.com I feel the same. I think the NYT's online page is fantastic - so much so that I pay $16 a month for it. I think they do an excellent job of laying out pages online yet still feeling like a newspaper. I like looking around the page for different stories, just as I would in a newspaper page. It's engaging, and I can't help but scan the whole page, read the headline, check out the picture captions. When I look at his blog-style page, my eyes just glaze over the headlines. The NYT App on the iPhone is basically his mobile mockup. And I've found that even on my iPhone, I'd rather look at the proper front page.

I thought it was $8 a week?

That's for the "All Access" package which nets you a tablet app and a smartphone app. The cheapest package is $3.75 a week.

I would have subscribed, but they gave me a free year after introducing the paywall.

Actually I did not realize that. Thanks for that clarification.
