A couple of final points about the Guardian redesign before I start looking for something different to write about.
Firstly, circulation levels. One of the driving forces behind this redesign is (I assume) the Guardian's falling circulation figures over the last year. I realise that this is purely anecdotal evidence, but over the two days that the new format has been on sale I haven't seen any increase in people reading it on the tube.
And finally, I think that people who are complaining that the web site wasn't redesigned at the same time as the paper are being slightly disingenous. The amount of resource that the Guardian has put into this redesign has obviously been phenomenal. Trying to redesign the web site at the same time would have been madness.
