If you look at my sidebar you’ll see under the ‘My Mux’ RSS feed

An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.

A quick trip to the site gives us the reason

Yep, Muxtape, a site that was doing no harm to anyone, that linked each song to where you could buy it on Amazon, that had had no complaints from any artists, a site designed to spread the word of unknown music has been taken off the air while they deal with the RIAA.

The say the outage is just temporary and I hope so.  When it comes back up I urge you all to go and make your own mux to spread your own eclectic tastes to the word.

A blog is only an opinionated wittering of one or many.  With that in mind I have to say…

…I don’t like it.  By it, I of course mean the new Liberal Democrat main party site.

Like Paul, I have had a little sneaky.  Unlike Paul, and it seems others, I don’t like it.  I had written why I don’t like it but thought I would wait for it to go ‘live’ first and allow everyone to see it before I slagged it off, so as not to prejudice you all.

I hope people do like it and I am wrong.

UPDATE:  James Graham makes a fair point in the comments:  If I am not going to say what I think the problem is, then why say anything at all?

I think it looks cheap.  That is the first word that came to mind when I opened it up.  It is just not a very good design.  I think they have added some very good features, but have pulled the whole thing down by not making it very good looking.  It may not seem much, but with all the other websites out there vying for attention, ours will still be a small voice in the wilderness.
