The BBC has redesigned its news website. To me, it is one of the best news sites around and all done without any advertising. I am happy for my licence fee to be used for digital content - I believe that it certainly is part of what the BBC is all about. What surpises me, however, is how much talk such re-designs generate. The news is still there and we'll all get used to the new layout. Personally, I like the wider screen as my monitors all have great screen resolutions which seemed to make the old site shout a little bit.

I am sure there are some things that are not great about it but overall I like it. I've also noticed that the BBC seems to leave the older news in previous styles (remember this look?) which is something I wholeheartedly approve of - a proper archive of the way the web looked. I wish I'd been doing that with my sites over the years. I am sure there is a whole post on archiving the web - but perhaps not tonight.
