Sharing 5 live's best bits
Post categories: web site

We've made a few changes to the 5 live website today that I believe bring greater focus to the site and make it a lot easier to find the best bits of 5 live's output.
The most significant alteration is the launch of our Best Bits page. There are dozens of examples of radio gold on 5 live each week, be it an unforgettable listener contribution or something unexpected from an interviewee, and this is where you'll be able to find them all in one place. The page features the most recent 25 clips that have been published on the 5 live website as well as the seven current most popular clips.
Now that we have this page we've got rid of the News, Sport and Life pages which we tended to use to aggregate links to clips. These sections of the site were used relatively little compared to other pages and most visitors to the most popular of these indexes, Sport, came mainly to see our commentary schedule. To that end, we've now 'promoted' the Commentaries page to the main menu as well.
Another small tweak that I hope will please regular visitors to this blog is that there is now a link to the 5 live blog in the main navigation menu.

...of course, the constant moderation and removals of my posts may have muddied my mind - and no-one at all thinks this.

Should be re-titled "Three no marks and a Z lister".
