We’ve updated more than just the look of our website. Here are the key things you need to know about the new PJMedia.com. If you have additional questions, feel free to leave them in the comments section and we’ll answer them!
Overview
- The design itself is very clean, with a lot of white space to help the content shine. It’s also highly visual — images and headlines are emphasized on every page. This also means you’ll see more videos and images. Our new slideshow feature gives us the ability to tell stories visually.
- The user’s experience was the foremost thought guiding our redesign. The new website is easy to use as well as appealing to the eyes.
- Now, PJMedia.com is responsive to all devices – mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop — making the articles easy to read on any screen.
- A core focus of the site’s functionality is social sharing – we’ve made it incredibly easy for you to share your favorite articles with your networks.
- The organization of the website is also better than ever. In addition to our core content categories, we will have pages devoted to curating all of our articles on a given topic — person, place or thing.
Content Sections
At the top of the website, you will see links to the main content sections:

Comments
After much back-and-forth, we decided to move away from our homegrown commenting system and adopt Disqus. This system is easy to use and has great comment moderation features to keep the SPAM away.
This means that we’ve removed accounts on PJMedia.com, but you can still use your account to access videos on PJTV.com, and to leave comments on Instapundit.
To comment on PJ Media articles, you’ll need a Disqus account. You can go ahead and create one by clicking here. Or, you can wait until you’re ready to leave a comment — you don’t even have to leave our website!
“Hot Story” feature
When this symbol appears on an article, it means the story is popular! We use the number of pageviews to determine which stories are “hot.” This feature will help you know which articles are must-reads.
Related stories
When you’re finished reading an article, we’ll show you additional articles that are related to the one you just read.
Author pages
We’ve enhanced our author pages so you can learn more about your favorite writers. Just click on an author’s name and you’ll be taken to a page that includes a biography, links to social media accounts, books and films from the author, and a list of recommended websites.
