You may have noticed that our homepage here at the Atlantic is now headlined by something called "The Current." The idea behind the feature is to provide quick and useful takes on the obvious and not-so-obvious news of the day, with items that simultaneously offer brief commentary from a member of the Atlantic family (I'll be writing a couple a week, as will some of my fellow bloggers, and our OnDeadTree staff will be contributing frequently as well) and a round-up of some the best opinion on and around whatever the subject of the item happens to be. It's a work in progress - as you can probably guess from the "beta" tag adorning it - and it will doubtless evolve over time, but don't let that stop you from checking it out: At the moment, the headliners are my mini-obit for Buckley and James Gibney, our deputy managing editor extraordinaire, on U.S.-India relations.

Any chance you could put it lower down the page? I miss the days when this website would have list on the side of the page with the latest features (some web-only articles, interviews with authors, and the like) running down it. Now it's so busy that's almost confusing.
The Atlantic is NOT Wired magazine. Your readers are NOT twentysomethings who want to be 'cool'. We're a bit older, hopefully wiser, and would like our information easily findable. And more prominent than the design.
Thank you.
