Globeandmail.com will continue its election hub as a politics hub.

Editor-in-chief Edward Greenspon unveiled the not-surprising development today in an editor's note to readers:

This new section of our site will provide a blend of news, opinion and features about the federal political scene.

We're keeping some of the staples of our election effort. You'll see strategists, web discussions, polling, outside commentators and blogs. Just at a slightly less hectic pace than in the past six weeks.

And, of course, we'll have the news from our team in Ottawa and reporters and columnists across the country, as well as a more interactive, community-based experience.

Reader-submitted political cartoons and politically-themed photos will still be welcome.

Navigationally, the hub doesn't seem to rate a top-rank navigational pointer. It doesn't rank with national, world or opinion, for example, to find the politics hub, you must first click on national.

Globeandmail.com has a three-column layout. In the centre column, there's no section yet for politics stories.

Having a hub that you can't easily find from anywhere in the site isn't a good thing.  Perhaps the site's navigation will be tweaked in the coming days.

PS

I'm still finding this pointer on politics blog postings:

I would think that should be passé by now.
