<\/strong><\/p>\n[UPDATE #4:<\/strong> HuffPost Religion is back in place on the front page.]<\/p>\n [UPDATE #3:<\/strong> A few hours ago HuffPost Religion editor Paul Raushenbush tweeted, \u201cHuffPost Religion isn\u2019t going anywhere. Temporary design change on Front Page.\u201d]<\/p>\n [UPDATE #2:<\/strong> It\u2019s 5:50 a.m. PST Tuesday morning. Still no HuffPost Religion section. I assume they\u2019ll announce something \u2026 well, I would think today. One thing that\u2019s changed is that now (see update #1 below) the Healthy Living<\/em> section is<\/em> opening up in the same window as Huffington Post<\/em> generally. Also, the header on all the Healthy Living<\/em> <\/a>sections I visited is now serving as a home button back to the Huffington Post<\/em> front page. So it\u2019s clear they\u2019re still working out the exact relationship between their AOL and HuffPost<\/em> content. That makes sense; of course there\u2019s much to consider there. Another thing I noticed, which for sure is of particular interest if your write for The Huffpo Media Group,<\/em> is that on the front pages of all the sections of the new HuffPo Healthy Living,<\/em> author bylines are no longer displayed with the featured pieces. The stories linked to off the front Healthy Living<\/em> pages, in other words\u2014the stories accompanied by pictures\u2014<\/em>are no longer showing author bylines. And it\u2019s pretty clear that\u2019s part of the new template for those pages. Those stories featured in the left-hand column of the Healthy Living<\/em> front pages\u2014those not<\/em> accompanied by a graphic\u2013continue to show bylines and little author-profile boxes. Bylines continue to be displayed on featured stories within HuffPo<\/em> itself.]<\/p>\n [UPDATE #1:<\/strong> Just up on the prime spot of the front page of Huffington Post<\/a> is a letter from Arianna introducing HuffPo\u2019s new Healthy Living<\/em> section.<\/a> No mention is made of HuffPo\u2019s Religion section. Interestingly, if you hit the link in Arianna\u2019s letter to the new Healthy Living<\/em> section,<\/a> a new browser window is launched for that section. This means that once you\u2019re on the Healthy Living<\/em> page, your back button will no longer return you to Huffington Post.<\/em> As per my guess below, I think this a subtle way to begin encouraging readers to think of AOL\u2019s Healthy Living<\/em> as wholly disconnected from HuffPo.<\/em> Any link within HuffPo leading to a HuffPo story still opens in the usual way, within the current window. What\u2019s really interesting is how HuffPo Media Group will manage to present as independent from it AOL\u2019s burgeoning new world of content, but at the same time utilize within that world HuffPo\u2019s phenomenal commenting\/social media matrix, which is everywhere marked by the Huffo brand. Will a \u201cHuffPost Super User\u201d remain so designated when he or she is commenting in AOL\u2019s new territory?]<\/p>\n <\/strong>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n As of this writing (3:00 p.m. Monday, May 16) there is no religion section of The Huffington Post.<\/em><\/p>\n On the front page of Huffington Post<\/a> are the usual section buttons running along its top: Front Page, Politics, Business, Entertainment, Media, Tech, Comedy, Style,<\/em> etc. What\u2019s now missing amongst those is the button for the Living<\/em> section, a subsection of which used to be Religion.<\/em><\/p>\n The Living<\/em> section button is now labeled Healthy Living.<\/em> And that button\u2019s drop-down section-buttons are four: Body, Mind, Spirit, and Health News.<\/p>\n No Religion<\/em> !<\/p>\n What\u2019s interesting is that if you go to the Healthy Living<\/em> section,<\/a> it appears you are no longer within Huffington Post.<\/em> What it (hugely) says across the top of that page is AOL Healthy Living<\/em>. And nowhere on that page is there a button for returning you back to any page within Huffington Post.<\/em> The Healthy Living<\/em> section, its four subsections, and all the articles contained therein, are now presented not as Huffington Post <\/em>content at all,<\/em> but rather as AOL content exclusively.<\/p>\n AOL Healthy Living<\/em> is the only section of the main ones listed off the Huffington Post<\/em> front page for which this is true. Politics is still HuffPost Politics;<\/em> Business is still HuffPost Business,<\/em> and so on. Only Healthy Living<\/em> takes you to a place clearly outside the HuffPo<\/em> realm. <\/em><\/p>\n So has the HuffPo<\/em> religion section gone to that big archived website in the sky?<\/p>\n I don\u2019t see how, given this April 26 story in The Daily Princetonian<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> The article is about how Paul Raushenbush, editor of the HuffPo<\/em> religion section (making him my editor,<\/a> doncha know) is leaving his job as Associate Dean of Religious Life at Princeton to become the full-time Senior Religion Editor for the beefed-up religion section envisioned by the AOL-HuffPo media group.<\/p>\n
