The BBC internet team details ongoing efforts to redesign the BBC's many presences on the web to work better, and better together.

I don't even really remember a bunch of the stuff I worked on while I was there. A lot of it was purely logistical and a lot was also very centered on helping to engineer the content management system so that it made as much sense to not-entirely-technical users as possible. I do remember being the driving force behind RSS feed adoption and management, and helped set up podcasting, and managed the transition to IE7 in the CSS (though somewhat haphazardly). Heady days. Looks like the whole site's recently been reskinned - mostly for the better, though I think at the expense of some necessary contrast and typographic refinements. The one thing I remember working on late in my tenure at the Council was a video player that scrolled along as you read a transcript. That was tricky for someone who doesn't know JS. Sort of sad to see that go. Also, anyone who likes can ask me about "Relations," my greatest innovation at the Council.
