Bostonist's New Hotness: Tags and Views

Bostonist just underwent a minor facelift that makes it easier to search the site, and you can adjust the home page to show even more stories.

You will see tags along the bottom of each story. Instead of searching the site or going to a broad category, like "News: Mass," you can click on a tag and see all the stories associated with the tag. This feature is perfect for searches on what's going on in specific neighborhoods, theatres, or concert halls.

Click on the tag for "Kendrick Perkins," and you'll see every single post that referenced "Kendrick Perkins."

You can also customize Bostonist to show full stories, to show stories with summaries, or to show only the stories that people have recommended most. In summary view, thumbnails of the main story image will appear, and you can scan the latest news. Favorites puts what you see in the hands of your fellow readers. If you have a profile and sign in, the site will remember which view you prefer.

Tell us what you think in the comments--and enjoy!
