New Toledo Blade Website - May 2016

Still testing as of May 25, 2016 at:

http://beta.toledoblade.com

I assume that responsively-designed website will replace the current http://toledoblade.com and the mobile site at http://m.toledoblade.com .

The beta sight is heavy with images in a tile format on the homepage.

On the article page, the site uses an infinite scroll. Once at the bottom of an article, the site loads another article. I have never liked this clunky user experience that I have experienced on other sites.
