NYTimes.com design director Khoi Vinh has posted an extensive and “effusively positive” review of the relaunched Times Online over on his site Substraction.com.

The new site, writes Vinh, “beautifully translates (versus simply transferring) its broadsheet aesthetic into something vibrant and native to the Web.”

He also enthuses over the grid used by Times Online the way only a designer can. It’s a great write-up for anyone interested in developments in online news design.

   So why have The Times / Sunday Times RSS feeds been crippled since the re-launch ?

   Each individual article link in the feed omits the base domain name e.g.

   /tol/news/politics/article1640622.ece

   rather than something you can actually click on like

   http://www.timesonline.co.uk//tol/news/politics/article1640622.ece

   Ugh. Partial feeds again. I hate partial feeds.

   Is this some aggregation of Martin Stabe’s individual blog and a PG blog? Martin’s seems to be full-feed, as before.

   But without really good excerpts, partial feeds are death - I just don’t want to know.

   Charles,

   Got it in one. I’ve aggregated my PG posts in my personal feed. Hence the truncated posts.

   I notice that your day-job blog isn’t giving away its full feeds, either.
