Some preferences for reading El Reg...
1. No stock photos, please. Only use photos if El Reg or the story source takes them. Consider providing an "opt-out" for all images on the front page (keeping them only in the full story, or shrinking them to icon-size).
2. No space wasted on white space: Use only the minimum needed to keep stories apart (one or two "emm"s should do, perhaps with a thin line).
Your real "value added" isn't just what you originate or gather (many do that), but how you share it, including both spin and snark. I work in an area about as far removed from IT as one can get, yet I continue to read El Reg for the 10% of stories that matter to me directly, and the simple delight of reading the El Reg presentation of the other 90%.
In particular, I think El Reg should revive and expand its space program.
