More updates on Birmingham Post website redesign

He’s said before that he’s dying to spill the beans and it seems Marc Reeves, editor of the Birmingham Post, just can’t keep all the plans for the paper’s revamped site to himself.

His latest blog post gives some more hints on what next Friday’s relaunch will feature:

  • Targeted content for the main business and industrial sectors of the region – including email alerts, RSS feeds and bloggers for each sector
  • An online business events calendar
  • ‘Pagesuite’ versions of main supplements and business publications
  • A roster of more than 30 bloggers
  • A smattering of video
  • Easily navigable arts, culture and leisure pages
  • More tagging of content

New look for Birmingham Post website

Trinity Mirror are to revamp the Birmingham Post’s website, according to reporter on the paper Joanna Geary – who is part of the development team for the new site.

Geary opened up the floor to readers of her blog to suggest features for the redeveloped website, taking their ideas to a meeting yesterday with management staff working on the project.

In an updated blog post, Geary wrote the following on some initial thoughts on the relaunch: “We’ve got a nice head start in that we will be using a similar template to other papers in the group such as the Liverpool Post, Liverpool Echo, Daily Post (Wales) and Daily Record (Scotland). Ours, however, will have a very distinct Birmingham Post feel.”
