New Stuff (Fairfax) site

The new Stuff website is also out. It’s certainly also an improvement on their old site, but I do find the Herald site more functional.

The changes actually bring both sites closer to each other. I’m not keen on multiple rainbow colours which Stuff uses, and it’s not clear at this stage if they have changed their major weakness of only retaining stories for a few weeks, breaking permalinks. That’s the main reason I will always link to a Herald story over a Stuff story on the same subject.

Also still no RSS feeds for Stuff (though some third parties do provide some) which is a shame. Stuff does tend to have better and more interactive features though (sometimes sourced from overseas) which is a real strength.
