Every time any of them changes their fonts, colors, spacing, style, etc., I have an immediate negative reaction. IT'S NOT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE! But, soon enough, I'm used to it and think the "old style" was rather silly looking in hindsight. So it will be with a website redesign. Changes to a site's look are useful and even necessary now and then, to keep the site fresh and interesting. As long as none of the changes interfere with practical use of the site, the furor will always die down. I read print magazines and newspapers as well as online news sites.
