The LGF interface cleanup continues; the “News/Opinion” and “Anti-Idiotarians” sections that used to be in our right sidebar have been moved to the left sidebar and set up as Flippy Triangle menus. (“Anti-Idiotarians” has been renamed to “Blogs.”)
Both of these sections are dynamically refreshed via Ajax each time you click their headings to show them. The “Blogs” section chooses a random list of 50 blogs from our full list, so each time you show that menu you’ll see different links.
Since these sections are only loaded when you click the menu headings, this also means that displaying our pages will be slightly faster, since less data needs to be transferred on the initial page load.
