  9. Fly1 Fly1 says:

    In the spirit of giving honest feedback, I can dig the layout but sizewise it looks a little cluttered and busy.

    I used to seriously love the flow of the blog format. Made it easier to read. Do we have to click each topic individually now or is there an option to see it as a full blog?

    I have alot of respect for your social commentary. Keep doing your thing.

  10. Clutch Magazine Clutch says:

    Fly1,

    Thanks for your comments! With this redesign we wanted to get away from the “blog” feeling. As you know, we are a online magazine and not a blog. We also wanted to show our growth and this site is definitely shows that off.

    The only section of Clutch that is a blog is our “news.gossip.info” but the rest of the site as you may know is updated monthly.

    You will have to click the different sections in order to view the departments. Thanks again for your feedback and supporting Clutch!

  11. Cassie Cassie says:

    Cluttered/busy?….where? Clutch! This is beautiful. Remember not everyone is going to love or support change, but it is necessary for continued success and you guys deserve it!

    Congrats!

  12. Alisha Alisha says:

    Dede (and all who worked together on the redesign), I love it!! The new features are hot. Change is a good thing.

  20. Tina Tina says:

    diggin the new design. You’re right as a magazine this rocks. I do understand Fly1 as far as blog aesthetics, so thanks for the clarification.

  21. FT FT says:

    Thanks for the clarification Fly1 I was starting to miss the old layout as it was easier to read but since you are going for the online mag look then..hooray!!

  22. Urban Fashionista Urban Fashionista says:

    It’s funny that people thought Clutch was a blog. Since day one they have been an online magazine. What other site interviews A-list celebrities and have contents like Clutch. It must be so frustrating for such a great magazine to be called a blog over and over when clearly they are so much more. I love the new design. People need to know you are a up and coming magazine that is about to get even bigger!
