I’m working on the redesign of the site at the moment so I want to know from you what you’d keep and what you’d get rid of? I’ve got a really cool new logo done but what about everything else? All comments will be duly noted but may be discarded in the process. Do tell..

Some big old naff multiscreens!
Ahh go on, you know we wants em 😉
What browsers have you tested that fly-in yahoo player on coz it doesn’t seem to be working in Chrome @ the mo?
since you got the yahoo player your page seems to take ages to load…maybe its unrelated but its the impression i get anyway
Eh, keep the logo?
Cash,
I’ve changed the media player to the latest version. Let me know if it’s any faster otherwise I may have to get rid.
Jellyman – Not tested in Chrome yet.
Sean – new logo is really nice, dunnae worry!
i think this site is lovely as it is. the only thing i can find wrong with it is that the search box is sitting off on its own, not really adhering to the grid. the tape logo is quite nice – i don’t think it would work too well in print but that’s hardly a concern. and i suppose the ‘nialler9’ is nothing to write home about but there’s not much wrong with it.
my general advice would be to maintain the layout/structure because it works, and don’t complicate things.
Less pink? (It’s very obvious I’m not doing work when my boss spies dayglo pink on my ‘puter from his desk…..)
I’ll probably take the pink colour out of the comments but it stays in the header fo sure.
I’ll invent a boss key for you Dave!
Anything with a media player that works, this one hasn’t been working for almost 3 weeks and the change a couple of days ago hasn’t made any difference.
Shizzle, ferg. What browser do you use?
Internet Explorer 7, any ideas?
It’s loading for me in IE7 but not loading the files. Weird… I hate IE.
ye really think the player has got to be sorted out or dumped.
Ok will look for an alternative.

Yahoo’s development team are looking into the media player IE7 issue.
more cowbell.
wait til you see the new site. i’m working on it at the moment. it’s still clean and still pink but it looks a lot more like a website made in 2008.than the other.
Going to try and get it love before my birthday at the end of the month.
Get it live I mean.
ive always liked the clean design, i find that i dont get distracted, so i can read your wonderful music journalism with ease
one problem ive always had tho is the site takes around 6 seconds to appear on my screen. which i cant understand. i assume its a server issue and not the coding.
