WaPo's Wretchedly Slow Site Gets a New Button

The homepage of washingtonpost.com looks a little different, doesn’t it? On Tuesday the site added a tiny toggle button at the upper left corner that allows readers to choose how much local news it displays.

Managing editor Raju Narisetti published a note explaining the new choices the toggle offers. In a nutshell: Readers can click “Regional” to display a box halfway down the page that highlights more local news. Or, they can click “U.S.” to make the box go away.
