The 80's / ZX Spectrum / 'Scissors and glue' look was intentional, but we take on board your comments about the 'contents' page. I think we need to work on this page a lot more to make it more usable, and of course understandable, but hopefully still retaining its 'edgy' visual appearance.
The contents page is meant the be hub of 'what is exciting and new' within QueensSpeech (like a magazine contents page) - only the highest rated and most read articles by our community appear on the contents page.
We also have an RSS feed available which lists all new content submitted ( http://feeds.feedburner.com/queensspeech ).
I'm really happy that you spent time going through the site again, and hopefully next time you visit you will be able to experience some of the improvements we have planned!
