Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about some changes I've made to Scott's site, just to try to organise things nicely.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/scottmills/

At the bottom of the page there's those five boxes which we call the "Article Archive" - it always used to be five there, and then the rest were on another page. It was kind of chronological, and stuff got bumped off the top 5 into the long list as it got older.

So I've reorganised this content into three categories now - Guest Gallery, Random Stuff, and Stuff We Made. I think those three categories sum up the three types of content that used to put in the old Article Archive - it's all the same stuff, but there is now a page for each of those three things.

The 5 boxes on Scott's home page will now work as follows -

1. Latest Guest

2. Latest Random thing

3. Latest Thing we made

4 & 5 other promotional boxes

And obviously there's room for promo and latest video etc at the top of that page as well as always. What do you think?

Sam

I like it, the 3 way sorting of things is a good way of doing it.

Now, to uhm, sidetrack this slightly - inspired by this update, and the new homepage, I've thrown together this little mock of what the homepage for the Scott Mills pages could look like. Key words are mock, as it's very rough and unfinished (some bits I spent too much time on, like the modern style email icons, others no time at all) and it's just to show the idea, and also homepage, as most of the content pages would look fine in the current barley style pages, just with the new menu from the promo area.

Only other 2 things to note, I'm pretty much working with what's on the website now which is why the 'header' looks like arse and doesn't have Scott in it, and something else I forget. Oh yeah, just again, it's not pretty - it's a concept idea, just what I think it could resemble based on the new style of the homepage.

I don't know if there are plans for doing something like this at R1 online, but hopefully I've inspired someone.

Yep ScottCam is still up - you can watch the highlights and you can play with a demo version of the console - you know, just in case you want to show people what it used to do :)

Thanks for your mockup JonathanEx! Some nice ideas there. Will discuss them with the team. Just to reassure you all, the intention is absolutely to use the full width of the page eventually, but it's a lengthy ol' process - we need to find something that works for all the Radio 1 DJs (not just Scott), is flexible and futureproof, and something that fits in with the BBC's overall style guides. But we are working on it, promise!

Yeah I guess it all very well for Moyles and Mills and the daytime DJs but when it comes to weekends the pages are a bit bare and it's no way that standard could be kept up on those pages.

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.

      So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2

      There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine.
