When I sent in the story yesterday the BBC link worked.. here's a good discussion of the article (in comment form, sorry)... Here. I'm not sure why the site is down. Perhaps the BBC took it down, but that seems unlikely. I hope it's back up soon though! Quick breakdown: the BBC wants people to totally rework their website. The winner gets a "high end Apple laptop", the runners up get an "MP3 Player". They will put the winning design live on their homepage for one day, giving the winner a lot of free publicity. I thought that the contest was a great opportunity for people to demonstrate what they really wanted on a news site, and I'm really not sure how I'd go about doing it. The thing is, local & national news, traffic, weather, etc - I want them all. But I want them in a way that's not cluttered. Not over loaded with information. Perhaps some nice AJAX dropdowns would be nice - click the heading and the section unfolds. I'd also like the choice to disable certain sections if I didn't like them - something like Google's homepage is for Google's account holders.
