Excellent BBC News Headlines

I've always loved the BBC News website. It's laid out perfectly and you can always get the information you need quickly and concisely. Here's a short article from usability Guru Jakob Nielsen about how good they are at web headlines. I'm afraid I'm guilty of looking for a pun before usability in my headlines!

Megadrop-downs are good

I agree with Jakob Nielson mega drop-down menus are good. I find they work well in many situations. I would just always suggest that the site indicates that they are dropdowns. Sometimes you can't find the navigation around the site, and only when you happen to put the mouse over the top links do you find it.
