[Cc-webedit] New Website - Design Iteration - Video Player on Home Page?

[Emily James]

Hi Jonathan

I'm not on the 'networking' list, so I can't post there (my 'reply-all's to
your emails are bouncing back), but I'm cc'ing media on this.

I'm slightly disappointed not to see a video player on the home page.

I'm sure that there is a reason?

We are planning to have a 'front page', specially hand picked feed, which
will have only the best content that we produce, but we aim will post at
least 3 or 4 new pieces there per-day, with shorts about the camp, coverage
of actions, and whatever is the best from the studio that day. It's gonna be
great stuff, and we are already getting various other groups and
organisations signed up to carry the feed on their sites...

So not sure why we don't warrant a special place on the home page?

Oh, and fyi, the current player, which is in our mock-up site (
www.camptv.info, ignore banner, it's a place keeper)  is simply aggregating
using tags, but once we launch, that wont be the case, it will be more
'selected' than that on our main page player.
