That’s right, we’re back!

After spending considerable time and effort thinking, rethinking, designing, coding, and tinkering, we are proud to present to you the brand new Deep Thought! Here’s a brief rundown of what’s new.

A brand new look

The most obvious change to Deep Thought is the site’s overall look and feel. We wanted to design something that was clean, bright, and clutter-free, and we think we’ve accomplished just that. We’ve also eliminated clutter and extraneous cruft to a great extent. We like it a lot, and we hope you do too.

Easier to navigate, easier to read

We tried to make our navigation as streamlined and as obvious as possible. We’ve also made improving readability one of our main goals when designing the site. Text is now larger and higher-contrast, so it’ll be much easier on the eyes.

Something completely new: Journals

Have you ever visited Deep Thought looking for just Mac news or just WIndows news, but end up having to dig through article after article you don’t want to read? We hear ya. That’s why we’ve broken our content up into journals, each covering a different area of interest:

• mac: Anything Mac- or Apple-related: dtgeeks.com/mac
• win: Anything Windows- or Microsoft-related: dtgeeks.com/win
• toys: For anyone who can’t get enough of gadgets: dtgeeks.com/toys
• fun: If you’re a gamer, this is the place for you: dtgeeks.com/fun
• think: Anything tech goes: dtgeeks.com/think

You can, of course, still view all articles, if you prefer.

RSS feeds are available for each journal. If you still want to see everything, we provide a feed for that as well.

IMPORTANT: If you already subscribe to any of our feeds, please visit the Feeds page and make sure the feed URLs you’re subscribing to are up-to-date. Many of our feeds have changed.

Rearrange the home page content. You can
also view a summary of the latest article or
headlines from the most recent article in
each journal.

Customizable home page

Our home page has been redesigned from the ground up, giving you the reader more control over what you see. You can rearrange the journal preview boxes, collapse the ones you don’t want to see, and change toggle between views. Your settings will be stored in a cookie, so every time you visit Deep Thought from your computer, it’ll be just how you like it. Cool, eh?

It’s not just about us

It’s about you. We’ve designed Deep Thought around reader participation, which means you can comment on articles, post in the forum, contribute to our podcast, and submit your own articles. Deep Thought is nothing without the active participation of its readers, so we hope that you stick around a while.
