About two years ago, the then JCP head mentioned at a party and over a drink or two that the JCP site would be redesigned over the next weekend. I was excited, because I thought I'd found a simple scoop to report. It's not Earth-shattering news, but it is the sort of mini-exclusive stuff I like to throw online before anyone else knows its happening.
I'm not sure what happened the last time around, but the JCP site was most certainly not relaunched or redesigned two yeas ago. But that's not to say it was all smoke and mirrors: The redesigned JCP site launched today. Better late than never, I suppose. I just wish I hadn't written a story about it two years ago in anticipation.
The newly redesigned JCP site looks much better than the old. Luckily, the easy access the former site provided is still available in the new incarnation. The JCP's site has never been tough to deal with and has always proved an invaluable resource for my reporting endeavors. At least now it looks like something designed in the last 10 years, however.
