A few things I noticed (being ultra-critical perhaps at this stage): First three links on the page are invisible skip links that don't show up, even on focus, plus there's another hidden link to accesskey definitions after the accessibility help link. On the separate modules, it's initially

Heads up, the BBC has a new site in Beta. http://www.bbc.co.uk/home/beta At my preferred setting for IE (accessibility mode at text-size largest) IE 7 cannot display the page and IE 6 is not a pretty picture. Best, ~dL -- http://chelseacreekstudio.com/

I have mixed feelings over this site, on first appearance I like the look esp the header and the colour changes Though I don't think its appropriate for the BBC, especially when alot of it seems to be a carbon copy of other sites. I hope there will be an option to theme the site 'classic' - so

Big improvement on the current BBC site. However, just a few little initial thoughts: - I really don't like the clock; it's so 1990s - we all have a clock on our computer/phone; I don't think it's needed. - I like the whole customisation/display options (though I think www.abc.net.au/news do it
