Summer on Radio 1

[popbitcher]

1xtra has already done something similar with its headers

[Guest inxces4308]

The radio 1 header looks like this at the moment (attached image)

They must be messing with it!

[Jugalug]

Try Ctrl+F5.

[Jono]

It's still got work to go even with the hard refresh. Not as smart looking as 1Xtra just yet

Mmh. This bar-thing isn't exactly fitting into the site as far as its colour is concerned...but the DJ-images are loads better...

especially this one:

[Guest inxces4308]

It still looks the same apart from they have now added small icons and extended it slightly.

[popbitcher]

it is supposed to be "widescreen". least it looks spacious now

[Jono]

Wasn't that Scott's old picture? I reckon he decided he wanted it back. Either that or they haven't realised they've replaced it. Why does his hair look blonde?

[Guest inxces4308]

They could do with adding a small 'rounded corners' image at the end of the bar and make it blend slightly better.

I much prefer the daytime layout, i think the evening layout is too dark and not very appealing. Wheras the 1xtra site is using a nice blue. Just noticed there both using the same style header now.

Anyway, I much prefer this image. He looks really strange on the image they are currently using...

omg...

1Xtra does look smart. The content looks a bit bare though.

I wonder if the Chart Show is both of them as opposed to just Fearne.

[Guest inxces4308]

This isen't really a problem but im childish and found it funny!

[Guest inxces4308]

:cry: They fixed it.

Fun over.

The Daily Mail probably threatened to brand it homophobia.

[Jugalug]

The sections (Dance, Rock/Indie and so on) have had a little new look.

[Jessica Lares]

They seem to be bringing in old images back!

I liked her newer picture, it was nice.

[Jugalug]

That one looks like she has a problem standing up straight.

Interesting:

One thing i've picked up from that, which he dosent really talk about, is that they're doing the video stuff (currently on Moyles) for switch too. God thats going to be boring (and yes I know its not really aimed at me! )

Well that's been known about since yesterday hasn't it?

[Guest inxces4308]

Shoot me - I brought an old topic back.

But, has anybody recently looked at the Radio 2 website over the past few weeks? They've been improving it again and it looks really nice.

The main reason i've brought this back up is because of how the presenter pages now look, which is very very nice. I wonder if we can expect an update to the Radio 1 website soon? I'd imagine they would bring it in line with the other sites, especially as its nicer.

It would depend on whether they've completed all of the other pages. BBC Asian Network was one of the most recently updated mini-sites too.

[Guest inxces4308]

Just taken a look at the Asian Networks site, don't like what they've done with the presenter pages, its not as creative and well 'nice' as the Radio 2 site.

[Mike]

I like the Radio 2 sites, they look very nice.

[Jono]

I think the homepage is a bit dull.

Yeah, it is a bit. i only looked at the ones linked above.

All of the BBC blogs are being gradually upgraded to a new, wide template, and Radio 1's blogs are currently in progress.

So far:

Personally, I'm surprised the Moyles team still have a blog, it's just mostly "What are we doing today", on some days. Maybe it'll have a natural death like http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/jowhiley/ did... other DJs, like Greg, make much better use of it.
