'Is Guardian Unlimited Changing Too?'

In the lull between the last pages of the first edition going 'off stone' and the first new look Guardians arriving at Farringdon Road, at Guardian Unlimited we are preparing for the first nightshift handling the new paper. There have been a lot of questions about whether the website will change in step with the paper, in terms of design. Obviously over time it is our intention to make the paper and the web as mutually supportive and reflective as possible, and all the paper's new content and sections can be found on the site. However GU's design will be staying as it is for the moment. We have used the opportunity of a new paper to create some groundbreaking editorial features which span web and paper. For instance our travel site now has a section called Been There where you can tell us your tips for the cities listed, rate other tips and even add your own place profiles. On Saturdays the travel section will take the best contributions and turn them into a spread for the paper. (This week it is New York - so please have a look at the site, write us your tips and see what you think). Part of the Guardian's philosophy is to be in open dialogue with you , hence this blog - which we think is a first but if you know otherwise let us know.
