I check out Transworld Skateboarding on a daily basis to stay up to speed in the skateboarding world. Their previous website was seriously outdated and full of little annoyances. The redesign however is very clean and a lot easier to navigate. My favorite new addition is the large flash piece on the main page displaying featured articles, videos etc.

Motionographer is my favorite website/blog for viewing the best and most current motion graphics work in the industry. Motionographer is definitely a great source for inspiration. While I had no complaints about the old design, this new layout is a little less cluttered.
