Front end rebuilt: simpler, cleaner - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Anyone using the front end for news should find it much easier and simpler to use:

Techwatch Tech News: Digital & Satellite TV, 3DTV, HDTV, IPTV, Cable, Computers, Games, Mobile Phones, Broadband, Internet, Telecoms, VoIP, USB and Wireless

Instead of the massive news map of every section, instead it just shows the top 20 stories, with the most recent first, and then the latest news by each section after.

However, as you've probably noticed, I'm currently busy trying to develop TW further - the aim is to take the site to the next level, and there are a few more tasks involved.

Already on the to-do list:

- redesign the template to CSS/HTML 5
- have a mobile stylesheet - news and forums
- simplify the news categories on the front end
- simplify navigation of discussion categories in the forums
- have a dedicated writer for each news section

Am sure there will be a few more things as well.
