New look, but no change

As expected, the BBC has begun rolling out its revamped News Online site. It's got a much cleaner look now, and is clearly influenced by the blogosphere in appearance and feel. There are some early teething troubles - many news stories today were published with varying font sizes on the page, which made things difficult to read.

Despite the freshen-up, one thing has not changed. There is still no Cheshire page. It;s business as usual for us licence-payers - if you want to know what's happening in our county then, as before, you will have to scour the news pages for Merseyside, Manchester and Staffordshire. Or choose an alternative news source. What a lost opportunity to add one extra page while redesigning the templates.

Not that you need have bothered - as usual, no Cheshire news was reported at all on News Online today.
