Otleypeople has been live since July 2009 now, so we thought it was time for a bit of a redesign. Over the next few weeks, you'll see some major changes in the look and feel of the site and I wanted to give you a bit of advance warning about what was coming.

None of your articles or comments or photos are going to disappear - we're just going to be changing the look and feel of the site, making everything faster, and making it easier to register and write stories.

If you have a look at our sister site in Cornwall, Helstonpeople, you'll see how the redesign is going to look - much cleaner, with more white space and more room, but also with the homepage redesigned so that everything that happens in the site is listed in chronological order.

Take a look at the Helston site, or at the screenshot above, and let us know what you think!
