New look for Monitor on the Web

The online edition of The Christian Science Monitor (http://www.csmonitor.com) is debuting a fresh new look on its home page today.

Advantages to the new design include:

*Putting the reader one click from almost every story in the day's edition.

*Making visually clear how many features and stories the site has to offer.

*Adding three new sections - Books, Travel, and About Kids.

*Increasing interactivity, including weather predictions which can be personalized for a reader's city.

We also are offering our first direct e-commerce option. After reading a Monitor book review, ordering the book itself is only a click away through a specially negotiated link to Barnes & Noble.
