By Patrick

James Price, editor of the BBC homepage, writes that over 3,000 people have responded to his call for feedback on the beta (test-phase) version of the site. Look for yourself here.

  • that the main image on the homepage was too big and
  • that the homepage was used too much as an advert for BBC content
