The Gardeners' World Blog

Thanks to everyone who has commented on this blog over the past 24 hours or so about the new-look BBC Sport website . If nothing else the volume of reaction shows how much people care about this site, so I want to express my gratitude to those who have taken an interest and expressed their views.

The feedback we are receiving is all useful and will help as we continue to develop the site. As I’ve made clear on a couple of occasions now, the changes we implemented yesterday were just the start of a long-term project to redesign bbc.co.uk/sport and we will constantly review what we have done as part of the process of providing a first-class sports service.

In terms of the issues that have been raised by you, there are some recurring themes which we are more than happy to discuss. My colleague Julia Whitney, who looks after design and user experience for the BBC’s News and Sport websites, has run through some of the major questions (about widened pages, the use of white space and the new banner) on the BBC Internet Blog. I won’t repeat what Julia says, but will instead pick up on some other issues which are specifically to do with Sport and relate to our output, rather than design questions.
