Web editor Julie Varnau of World Radio Switzerland wrote to share the news that the public broadcaster “relaunched our newly Big Medium-powered site today to rave reviews.”
WRS is the English-language arm of Switzerland’s national public radio outfit, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation. The site’s clean and clear design puts Big Medium’s multimedia features through its paces, featuring podcasts of World Radio programs, photo galleries of related topics and an inline radio player for individual stories.
Congrats to the World Radio Switzerland team on the launch.

Mobile Isn't the Lite VersionJakob Nielsen's dubious mobile website guidelines make the mistake of assuming that there's such a thing as "this is mobile content, and this is not."
Designing for “Context” Is Tricky BusinessDesigners often conflate device context with user context—or worse, with user intent. “This is mobile, so they’ll never want to do that.” ”This is mobile, so it’s aimed only at users on the go.” Friends, this is hooey.

DesknotsMore and more, when we refer to mobile, what we really mean is “non-traditional computing devices and environments,” a stodgy mouthful that really boils down to

Hi Josh,
I know you are please with nice BM implementations such as this site. Congrats on that!
I especially like the design of the site...especially how the links flow into the two columns on the home page. Is that effect achieved by CSS just using %links% or does the design require the second column to use the %morelinks% widget?
@Carey: The design uses the <%links%> widget for those two columns of links. This page offers a tutorial for how to do this: How can I display link lists horizontally or in columns?
Hope that helps!
Josh
