# New Read/WriteWeb Design

If you’ve visited R/WW over the past week you’ll have noticed a new design has been rolled out. The designer was Kevin Hale of [Particletree](https://web.archive.org/web/20100525215955/http://www.particletree.com/), who did a superb job. I want to thank Kevin very much for his hard work on the design and for the end result, which I’m delighted with! There are still bits under construction (in particular a couple of IE7 glitches), but I couldn’t wait to go live with it – so I pushed the button earlier this week. I’d love some feedback on the new design, so feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Also a note about my goals for R/WW. These days I’m attempting to cover the high-level of web20 – market segments, product positioning, Web theory, industry insights, etc. My goal is to provide high quality analysis, while also producing a regular supply of posts. It’s possibly ambitious to try and provide high quality posts and at least *some* of the quantity that other more news-focused web20 blogs pump out. So that’s why I’m also on the look-out for more guest bloggers, to help me write insightful and instructive posts about the New Web. Contact me if you’re interested!

btw if you missed it, I recommend reading my post on [Rhapsody Web Services](https://web.archive.org/web/20100525215955/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/rhapsody_web_se.php) – in which I interviewed RealNetworks and Rhapsody execs. Also check out [PeopleAggregator and Open Social Network Systems](https://web.archive.org/web/20100525215955/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/peopleaggregato.php) for a look at the future of social networks. Finally [New Netscape = New Coke?](https://web.archive.org/web/20100525215955/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/new_netscape_ne.php) is a story making waves right now.
