CNN.com is teasing a redesign link on their home page. Currently it directs you to http://beta.cnn.com/. It's a big change, and I like it.
The primary navigation has moved from the side to the top (it was at the top before, I just remember the side for some reason) and the entire content area is now centered (rather than left-aligned). The entire look is cleaner and does reduce the amount of content on the home page.

Looks like they are relying less on tables for layout, instead using CSS. That I like.

The primary navigation hasn't moved. It is across the top of the current site. I agree that it is a nicer design and much cleaner.

It is cleaner and I do like it better. But it feels like it offers up less real information and more fluff. That said, I don't use front pages of news sites very much, except to occasionally drop in to see top stories.
