Graphic Design: They use the same blue-ish green color throughout the entire page. A cornflower blue color and sky blue are also used throughout the page. Light grey lines are used to differentiate between sections, like most other news sites. Move from homepage, the nav bar and big news bar changes colors for the section of the news you are in.
Information Design: 3 columns. The big news stories are at the very top, above the header and mirrors the navigation bar, below the header. The top story takes up all 3 columns, and the majority of the viewable page. The rest of the stories have to be scrolled down to (unlike most news sites).
Interface Design: Extremely large image appears with a very large headline for the top story. All the other stories fill in the 3 columns down the page. The most popular stories are highlighted with a blueish green colored box. The far left column has stories written by people outside of their staff.
Document Production: multiple external stylesheet, some for different browsers, mobile style sheet, some embedded style
Scripting & Programming: Javascript, RSS, widgets, podcasts
