RE: UKNM: New design of ft.com

[Stewart Dean]

It's nice apart from the 'left, right' widget. In the words of Tom Hanks in

Big 'I don't get it'. Looks like they're falling into the portal trap - link

farm madness resulting in just a mass of visual noise with little rising

above it.


Often it's the result of politics 'but I want my link on the front page'.

Often correct segmentation of a site - with possible alternative entry

points, much like the Sunday Times does to it's paper version, can solve

this and keep things simple as things get more complex.


Cheers
