The new BBC homepage - website credits

Friday, December 14th, 2007

I know, I know, I’m sounding like a BBC shill at the moment. Sorry. Will stop shortly.

Richard Titus has written a great blog posting about the equally good new BBC homepage. (That isn’t it above - I didn’t want to spoil the surprise for you).

Two things I like about the posting: his sense of humour (humor?) shines through; and the excellent credits list at the end of his posting. Which makes me wonder why we (us, the internet) don’t do more credits on websites. My old team at Virgin Radio have credits (though that page doesn’t now appear to work correctly for me); Media UK has credits (though they’re rather out of date) but I think this is possibly the first time I’ve ever seen full credits for a piece of work on the BBC’s website. If we’re setting a new tradition here, then I’m all for it.
