So, TVPres.UK is back online at an all new address at: http://www.tvpresuk.yolasite.com

The design is due to be tweaked as I type, with a look reminiscent of the old version trying to break through. Captures are currently on BBC One @ Christmas from 2010 until 2008, ITV1 @ Christmas from 2010, Sky1 @ Christmas from 2010 until 2008, along with Themed and standard idents, along with misc. captures from the channel.

Don't forget, TVPres.UK is on Twitter: Follow @TVPresUK

Along now, an initial look at the BBC News at Six, along with some additions to BBC One and BBC Two, in the terms of 'Coming Next' slides and what-not. Plus, Channel Four is online, idents, promo slides and etcetera all there. More design elements also coming along.

A small look at BBC Breakfast is now online - http://bit.ly/e7ooLc
Presentation from the BBC News Channel is also available, void a standard ticker, as the current Breaking News has been progressing for the past 24 hours.

A note that the hosting seems to be encountering some errors as of the current time, returning 'Error 503'. I have no control over this and can only hope the issue is resolved soon.

I'm enjoying the site Critique, although I do have a slight issue with the format your images are in. PNG images take a rather long time to load. Is there any chance of you using JPG format?

Evening rob, thanks for your praise and comments. At the moment, there's nothing stopping me from uploading JPG's to the site, it's just been the matter of being so used to saving mocks and a few presentational elements in PNG format I've forgotten to switch the check-box back to JPG. But yes, I'll certainly upload JPG's from now on, and get round to updating the rest to JPG's too. Quite a lot of content is due to be re-uploaded in higher quality anyway.

Within the next hour Drop down menus will be online, and there should be a site restructuring well underway. This will mean that instead of being given three links for BBC One on the BBC page, you'll be taken to a BBC One masterpage, where the links will be situated. More CSS, including 'Featured' and 'Recently Updated' panes will be online soon too.

T'is a menial task, as each menu on each page needs to be coded in three separate HTML widgets, so it's a lot of copying and pasting!

It's online. So far, only the BBC One masterpage is operating, with more coming soon.

Most masterpages are now online, and image based links to pages are being rolled out, present in most places too.

The BBC Breakfast section has been expanded, and you can take a look at that at the following URL: http://bit.ly/fwVwSm

Also, some tweaks are underway, including the return of some useful HTML that made a 'Featured' pane appear and work.
