Introducing the fresh Reglike

Please welcome a refreshed experience at Reglike.

I’m excited to launch a refreshed version of Reglike this evening.

Best practices and trends in news sites have changed a lot since I began publishing Reglike in 2005. The last significant redesign of the site was in 2013, and it is time for a change.

Here are some changes you’ll notice in the redesign:

• Built for speed! I tasked my web designer with building a fast site and he delivered. Google focuses on what it calls “Core Web Vitals,” and the old version of Reglike was miserable. The previous version scored a pitiful 24 on mobile and 84 on desktop. The fresh version scores regarding 95 on mobile and 100 on desktop.
• See the most popular recent articles and latest podcasts at the top of the home page.
• A fresh logo. Trends in logo design have changed in recent years and the old Reglike logo needed an overhaul.
• A cleaner design.

Redesigning a site is tricky. I wanted to make sure my advertisers continue to get excellent visibility, so we built a better design for readers and advertisers. A big shout out to Ryan Townley for making this possible.

Please let me know if you see anything that’s not working correctly with the redesign.
