New Food Network Website


Posted by Madeline Miller on Edible TV.

Have you checked out the Food Network’s new look? Its website now feels more like Yahoo! Food than the Food Network to me. It’s organized into different-sized content boxes instead of the old long sidebar left and content to the right. And maybe it’s because I’m biased, but couldn’t […]
