Different site


You've probably noticed some more changes to the BBC News website this week.

A graphic of the BBC News websiteWe've added new banners and footers, designed to promote live TV and radio news programmes better and to give more prominence to the different ways users can access news - via mobiles, RSS news feeds, e-mail or podcasts for example.

We recently added a section to the middle of our main pages to promote our audio and video content better.

Broadband use of audio and video is on the increase. BBC News has a lot to offer and we want the website to reflect that.

We’ve also introduced an element of personalisation for UK users with a postcode box on the front page that allows you to select news, weather and sport for your area.

We’re keen for feedback on any or all of these changes, so if you have a view please let me know.
