I think the News page is much improved since the upgrade.
However, I used to just go to the home page and see the news stories and the recent posts. Now, however, the news items on the home page often do not contain one complete sentence. That's just not enough to decide to read more or not. So now I have to go to the news page and then go to the home page for the recent posts.
Improvements are definately being made, but for my needs use of the site is harder than before the upgrade.
