Yeah, I forgot the clock. Nice little retro touch that brought back some childhood memories of waiting for Dr Who on a Saturday night (and schools programmes!)

Nice redesign for a new era of the web. Great the way that video and rich media has presecence now as it will be used more and more in coming months I should think. Few tweaks here and there, as mentioned the accessibility issues with tabbing through content, and it should be great. ./Matt On Dec 18, 2007 11:14 AM, "~:'' ありがとうございました。" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I also like the initial effect, however... why is 50% of the space uneditable? seems contrary to sense, can't find any excuse for the obligatory large picture with 4 choices, please remove, optionally of course ~:" the directory could also be editable, with a minimise and reset if desirable. why is radio not editable? the minimised buttons could be links, no... keyboard navigation isn't exactly intuitive, but does it work at all? the link order is weird in any case... with each area minimised, I tabbed to 'open' sport, hit enter, it opens, which is excellent, but then how can I tab through the links displayed? a huge congratulations on a significant benchmark. kind regards Jonathan Chetwynd Accessibility Consultant on Media Literacy and the Internet On 17 Dec 2007, at 17:37, Christopher Woods wrote: Wow, what a great job! First impressions are fantastic - clean, easy on the eye, very nice purple colour scheme and I very much like the rollover effects (the customisation aspect is nice, too). I'm glad to see that the clock has finally made a comeback - I remember a discussion about that a while ago (I think it was on here, wasn't it?) when the Flash-based BBC clocks were discussed, and someone at the beeb asked if they could use them for a forthcoming BBC project or something like that? I can't be bothered to go looking through my archives now to verify my poor memory, but nevertheless good job to all involved! The only things that need sorting are the slightly chubby 'headers' for the hideable sections, make them a little less tall, 10-15px less would do it I think. Also, no mouseover effects for the four showcase buttons underneath the main image? Ooo, love the effects when you customise stuff... All the swishing and swooping and modal dialogs when you set your location and BBC News version - I'm such a mug for a bit of web 2 goodness sometimes! I'm wondering how it degrades in older browsers though... Trying it on my WinMo 5 phone, at least it renders as a full single column by default in Pocket IE - LOADs of scrolling through images and layout stuff, but at least all the content is easily readable. None of the edit links work for customising the widgets, I'm guessing (hoping) a mobile-friendly version of the BBC homepage is coming soon - I'd be sorely tempted to change my homepage to the BBC frontpage for my phone if a 3G-, QVGA-friendly version was designed. Looking good for starters though! I don't know if there's anyone at the Beeb who is involved (or knows someone who's involved) in the frontpage redesign, but it's looking very promising and I'm quite pleased. I love the return of the clock, promise me that'll never go! :D - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
