Yeah the X Factor background currently on the home page is really good. Makes it a bit more "special" so to speak. It's the sort of thing i thought they should have had from the launch of this years show.

I think they should do it a bit more often - i.e take over most of the homepage for big shows.

I'm a Celebrity following in the same foot steps

Yeah I saw - liking them!

And I don't know if you have used it but I love ITV Live it is such a great service!

Yeah I have - is pretty good like you say.

Started it at the world cup - but it must have wen't sucessfully as they seem to be using it on all the big shows now.

Liking the special 'Celeb' themed homepage, but what I don't understand, with any centred page with a full background like this, why do they keep the white bar at the top where the itv.com logo is and the ad banner is? Why not have the background showing with the logo and ad over the top?
The white banner cheapens the look of all centre sites!

New Corrie site!

Not sure what to make of it.

At first glance blah, but after a while and looking through it the design is quite nice IMO. At least its centre aligned and I like the menu as well!

The bus stop thing on the home page is great, the blog is a good idea (EE has one of these I think), the Fun & Games section looks a lot better and I'm looking forward to the "Corrie Extra" section

I know this is random but apparently the ITV Regional sites use Wordpress to publish stories, if that is so, why are they so fugly?

Where did you here this, not sure if the story section uses Wordpress but things like the regional weather and national news blogs do use Wordpress.

Now why cant every site adopt this design style

It looks a bit like Daybreak/Lorraine what with the box elements below.
