It’s all in the details #1

Posted by Jay in Details

(This is the first of hopefully many posts that pull out little details from sites, shedding light on how it’s the little things that add up to make sites deep, cool, and interesting.)

We’re political junkies around here, so political blogs are probably more frequented than any other ‘type’ of site. Except for design sites, of course… But really, it’s hard these days not to pay attention to what’s going on. The Caucus blog at NYtimes.com, while being a really great read, is also, like the rest of the NYT site, designed really well. It’s a beautiful site. And one little detail that really does it for me is the “related” section at the bottom of each post. It’s just a well-designed little nugget of information, on the left is more links to other blog posts, and my favorite part is on the right, the all-caps green title of other blogs. It’s just somehow the perfect choice, it’s the only green on the whole page and it just pops out. Here’s an example, just scroll down to right above the comments.
