h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes, that's what I wanted to show by posting the BBC weather site. And I also think that petrol blue is no proper blue.

The point about decluttering the Front Page - it's good that you've decided to try and make it clearer and more user-friendly. But in your keenness to do this, I think you've possibly over-compensated and gone too far the other way. There are now gaping big holes between different elements and blank patches that just don't look very badly designed. I know the look has to fit in with the rest of the BBC sites - but this is an issue that other BBC sites don't necessarily have.

Decluttering's great. Big blank gaps aren't.

"Just don't look very *well*-designed", sorry.

About the categorisation on the Front Page: have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk . Down at the bottom you'll see something not a million miles away from the new categorisation index.

1. It doesn't look in the least cluttered or messy.
2. It, of all pages, presumably fits the new guidelines.
3. I find it very useful and use it regularly.
4. The categorisation index would fit very well in that vast blank bit at the bottom of the new Front Page.

a very good idea, KB!
