Matt Jones

Namesake

Another Matt Jones weblog [Creative Director of news.bbc.co.uk no less]. Although I think the BBC News site is excellent and I read it regularly, I have one quibble: why don’t any of the articles contain hypertext? I would have thought a public service organisation like the BBC would be the first to maintain web design standards that help make the Web what it is. Presumably, the reasoning is that people might click on a hyperlink to another site, not like what they see and think to themselves ‘I’m not paying my licence fee for this rubbish!’, hence the list of related links to the right with a disclaimer underneath.
