Subscribe to Breaking NewsWelcome to the new 365gay!
Update: RSS FEED
The RSS feed should be working – but the URL is constructed differently than the old feed. Please reset your URL to:
Still not working? **Please** give us specifics about how it’s broken and what browser you’re using. Many thanks. (Usually when it breaks now it’s due to an editorial error – we need to find the “escaped” ampersand and fix it).
**************************
We hope you like the redesign of 365gay. We’ll continue to bring you daily breaking LGBT news, interesting features, and political analysis and opinion.
It’s a new site, so there are some bugs we’re aware of, and we’re working to fix them. In the meantime, PLEASE respond in the comments below as you find bugs, so that we can get to them quickly.
Update 2:
Issues we think are resolved:
- RSS feed
Tiny text
Not enough content in breaking news box
Issues you’ve brought up that we are working on:
- Printing a full page
- International access to video
- News broken out by day of the week
- Improved navigation
- Opinion section
Update 3
OK, we thought we fixed RSS but clearly not. So we’re still trying.
And continuing to update all the above. First, though, we’re trying to ensure the underlying code is stable – that’s really the priority. So bear with us, OK? We’re a tiny, tiny staff.
We appreciate very much – and read – all your comments, on this page and all the others.
Update 4
- By the end of next week, you’ll have a single page with the week’s headlines
- Also in next week’s publish, the ability to print a story cleanly.
We hear you on readability (a slightly different problem than the tiny text) and front page navigation. Working on both.
Update 5
- We’re working on a WAP site, which will make things easy for our mobile users, similar to Logo mobile sites at AfterElton and AfterEllen.
Please also comment on stories – a new feature we’re particularly happy about – and feel free to send us news tips at editor@365gay.com.
Finally, our gay political blog VisibleVote08 is now the 365gay Blog - if you haven’t read it before, we hope you’ll check it out.
Warmly,
365gay editorial staff
I ‘think’ I will like it…but I ‘ALWAYS’ looked up everyday ‘this day in history’ and now its gone…this part you have done a dis-service by getting rid of it. I will not go to your web site everyday the way I have for the last several years for a history profile.
love it,looks real nice and easy
thanks
Still no return of the mobile/PDA version for some of us traveling professionals? This display is even worse than the last one (on my Blackberry). You’re making it more difficult to keep loving you.
Why would you relegate the breaking news to the left hand column? You put the most important or frequently updated stuff in the middle – basic web home page standard. And why do you have two “All Culture & Ideas” over two stories as well as the actual Culture & Ideas section below. Other than that, it’s fine…it’s been glammed up – personally, web sites change too much for no reason…you were fine before…but that’s me.
I’m not a fan of the new layout, but I’ll get used to it. I’m just a creature of habit.
It always seemed nice to me to see in the old design in the top middle a discussion – such as the Wayne State Professor who always wrote wonderful material. I do not see that time of column space in the new design – perhaps it is here and not quite as evident.
Excellent!
Please try to make your “Watch video” features easy to manage. I keep going around in circles when trying to click something to watch.
Sorry I may be the only one but I don’t like it
The one feature that I felt held 365GAY back was that it didn’t allow comments on the various news articles. Now I think that it’s great.
Retired GWM American living in Thailand. I read your website daily. GOOD WORK. PLEASE, can you enlarge the size of the TYPE in your news articles. As a Senior, I find the TYPE VERY SMALL and hard to read. THANKS.
Don’t Like Main Page – Old layout allowed for quicker viewing of the main headlines. The main page now is too full. So it will require some getting used to.
Terrific redesign!
I like this a lot! Much more professional looking. Can you make an iPhone version?
I don’t like the new design. Too plain and generic. It looks like all the other sites. Too hard to see the article – no more pictures with them. Lots of links and not really interested in a bunch of blogs.
