The Hook continues to lead in the ‘best local news source’ poll (or at least holds a share of the lead…cvillain is hanging tough), but they went ahead and changed their look. Is the new look hot, or not?
It does have a few usability issues, and it no longer has that brash red “I’m standing up to the village fools” look to it. I’m on the not side of this argument.




thanks for the update- I had no idea the hook had a new look even though it is in my blogreader. I think the look is good, I particularly like the blue, but it is very busy.
BTW- cvillenews is the best place to get news because it is updated more frequently than your blog. Your blog is close second, now the hook is a newspaper so it is supposed to have regularly timely updates.
I rather like it - but as Jennifer says it is a tad busy. The reason I like your site is you always seem to have updates on many of the stories as well as links to other sources.
I think it’s awful. Busy, cramped, and why so much flash?
Hey Outskirts! Thanks for that! And right back at you–
