Journals
The front page is a complete and utter mess. Random boxes, images and text just splatted all over for the sake of it. The BBC News website was the only unique, well structured site left in the news industry until some amateur designer thought a more Americanised, big text, more pictures, fucking "WEB 2.0" bullshit would be the way forward - jumping on the bandwagon for the sake of it. The "More from BBC News" box near the bottom - WTF IS THIS?

WTF are those huge fucking gaps between the content and the right column. The same amateur then decided to add the content images with geocities only to find out that it doesn't play nice and decides to place the images 100px from the botton and right from where you want it. "But don't worry, there's no need to do it the proper way. It's not like we are the biggest news site in the world lolol."
They actually could have used the new top nav to their advantage. More space for news content, bigger and clearer pictures. That's pretty much out of the question.
The old BBC News site
What is this journal about? Don't "fix" what isn't broken!
Hoping someone develops a stylish or greasemonkey script that would return it to the old style.
why don't you write to BBC
