Hi Jonathan<br><br>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.<br><br>I'm slightly disappointed not to see a video player on the home page.<br>
<br>I'm sure that there is a reason?<br><br>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... <br>
<br>So not sure why we don't warrant a special place on the home page?<br><br>Oh, and fyi, the current player, which is in our mock-up site (<a href="http://www.camptv.info">www.camptv.info</a>, 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.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Alistair and I discussed the feedback on the new design last week and<br>
then I fed back to the designers. I just wanted to drop an email to the<br>
lists so people can see where it's at now, and I can highlight how<br>
specific areas of feedback have been dealt with.<br>
<br>
I've been working furiously over the last week, and have implemented the<br>
main bulk of the design: <a href="http://climatecamp.jonathanleighton.com/" target="_blank">http://climatecamp.jonathanleighton.com/</a>.<br>
Please be aware that a lot of the links don't work, the design isn't yet<br>
fully implemented, and I'm not really looking for comments at this<br>
half-baked stage. But hopefully it is sufficient to give you an idea.<br>
<br>
[Also note that I have currently only tested extensively in Firefox,<br>
other browsers, particularly IE, may not render it correctly at the<br>
moment.]<br>
<br>
Specific changes worth highlighting:<br>
<br>
* "Learn More" link and "About" link in footer to go through to an about<br>
page<br>
* Responding to complaints about it being too "clinical", some<br>
illustration has been added - we have the images above each main menu<br>
item, and the background 'watermark' illustrations.<br>
* A search box added to footer<br>
* Secondary and tertiary navigation added (for an example see<br>
<a href="http://climatecamp.jonathanleighton.com/get-involved/national-gatherings/next" target="_blank">http://climatecamp.jonathanleighton.com/get-involved/national-gatherings/next</a>)<br>
* Blog page design half done:<br>
<a href="http://climatecamp.jonathanleighton.com/blog/2009/06/15/sed-egestas-ante-ut-velit-sodales-ultricies" target="_blank">http://climatecamp.jonathanleighton.com/blog/2009/06/15/sed-egestas-ante-ut-velit-sodales-ultricies</a><br>
<br>
There are specific designs for various other pages which will be<br>
implemented over the next few days - I'm working on this for the next<br>
two as well as the weekend.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jon<br>
<br>
