In case you haven't noticed - but chances are you probably have - the Chicago Tribune has gone live with its new redesign. It's a bit tab-heavy, but we kind of dig it. To the right side of the page is a feedback button which, when clicked, brings up a window that allows for, well, feedback (pic #3 above). So it seems like it's still a work in progress. Perhaps the biggest grievance we have with the redesign as shifting the "Chicago Breaking News" window to below the main story and, for us, anyway, forcing us to scroll to get to it. But, otherwise, we see some promise in the site's new look. Agree with us? Think we're crazy? Let us know in our comments.

Yes, as we approach 2009, it's redesign time here in the ist-a-verse and the Gothamist, LLC tech team did a bang-up job making us look good. As with all makeovers, though, there are still a few bugs and glitches you'll probably notice, but those'll be ironed out in the coming days. Be sure to let us know what you think of the redesign. We'll be tweaking and updating it over the next couple of days and weeks and we'd love to hear your feedback so detail your issues either here in comments or at tips (at) chicagoist dot com. Thanks!

In news of the bored today, the Chicago Public Library finally updated their website. You know the one that was just white with a little bit of green and just linked to a bunch of PDFs? Now it's all pretty and red and green like, yeah, kind of like a Christmas tree, but the redesign is better organized and most exciting, has an entire section devoted to digital media with ebooks, audio books, and archival photos available.
