What happened Here?

Did someone “improve” the TechRepublic?

It appears that the format has dramatically changed since the last time I found time to post. Sheesh, you do three projects and take a summer vacation, and when you come back TR has fallen victim to “Extreme Mackover: Tech Website Edition”

Maybe I am missing the boat, but I think that the old TR format was easier to use.

Also, Where did the user blogs go? Now all I see is some paid journalists blogs that mean little to the working IT tech. I had enough theory in school I want to know what really works, and not some theorist’s ideas about how the IT world aught to turn.
