More design updates on the BBC site.

Forgot that this was going to happen today, but it’s release day for another update to the BBC News site ( as part of their overall revamp of its web presence), this follows on from  the changes that have already happened to the BBC home page, thought I am convinced that many people thought that the BBC News page was the BBC home page!

Anyway, I like the new design, except for the over use of vertical white space. It’s far too much and needs to be reduced, not back to what it was on the old style web site – it’s been increased to aid overall accessibility – but the adjustment is far too much!

Seems that the changes have again solicited a high number of comments – 420 when I last looked. It is true that you can’t please everyone all of the time. However, I still think it looks better that CNN or Sky.

More changes are due to appear on other sections of the BBC web site over the coming weeks, it will be interesting to see what comments those changes create.
