Site changes [pt.6]

I just wanted to give you a glimpse of one of the changes we're making to the site which, I hope you'll agree, will be a big improvement - and that's the use of your photos and artwork.
Just take a look at this stunning portrait called 'Progress' by Wrexham-based artist Jonathan Brier. What better way to show it off than to use it in a size in which you can fully appreciate the work.
[We're going to be showcasing more local artists' work in our new Arts and Culture section - more of that to come soon.]
Anyway, I've mentioned previously about the other types of picture galleries we'll be using on our new-look site.
The other thing to mention is the decision not to continue with the podcast, as we highlighted last week.
BBC bosses say: "It has provided a solid service to listeners for the last 18 months, but as we look for new ways to provide value for our listeners we feel we can better provide local stories and content for north east Wales using other means."
And finally, behind the scenes, things are going well with the migration to the new service which we're due to launch very soon now.

This new site look very good! Could of done with a name change, possibly to "BBC Wrexham", as it all seems to be about Wrexham
1. Playground's hope after new offer
2. Wrexham set to snap up Cieslewicz
3. Wrexham host Premier friendlies
4. Natural selection on the roof of Wrexham police station
See what I mean, I don't think you are covering the whole area it all seems to be based around Wrexham. Nothing wrong with Wrexham, after all I was born there. I use this site daily to see what the news is back home in Mold and the surrounding area. Just thought I'd have a moan about something so here I am moaning!!!!

Hi greenswissdog. Thanks for your comments. There are lots of stories on the homepage which refer to other places within north east Wales, like our guide to 'every' town in our area. That said, our reasoning behind Wrexham receiving more mentions is because it's the principal town in our region.
