Well it looks like someone over at the National Post is finally starting to get the message that former reporter Mark Evans had been preaching for months and redesigned their site and added some social media tools. The redesign is centered around a very clean layout that allows readers to get content by visiting the site, RSS feeds, Email or through on their mobile device.

“The National Post is the source for news around the clock,” said Jonathan Harris, Director of Online and Executive Editor, National Post. “The new nationalpost.com promises to deliver fast, reliable information like no other news site in Canada. We’ve redesigned the entire site from top to bottom to help our readers find the news that matters to them - fast.”

As well as nationalpost.com, financialpost.com also received a redesign, and a “Your Post” widget that streams the best of nationalpost.com straight to computer desktops or favourite websites like Facebook; daily videos and podcasts, including the popular Wealthy Boomer video and daily FP Podcast; and the NP Network Blogs, including established interactive blogs and news feeds like FP Trading Desk, Full Comment and Posted.
