The more eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that this blog has changed its colours / template, as of yesterday. Rather than this being the result of watching one too many makeover programmes, this is in fact to bring it in line with our new website and overall brand.

Check out the new website here: www.sse.org.uk , and let me know what you think. The ideas underpinning the redesign were to make the site more navigable, clearer (no dreaded dark green background), more student stories front and centre, and more of the common questions answered. We’ve also put news and this very blog on the homepage to keep it active and, I hope (!), dynamic. Plus, better contacting ability, and the chance to sign up to a newsletter by e-mail (which is long overdue) or our news feed / blog by RSS.

Now I’m off to find all the bugs and broken links….. ;0)
