either/or has been relaunched! Created 13 years ago2011-04-10 01:56:41 UTC by AJ

Hey folks

Not sure how many of you care, but hey, promotion is promotion. Anyhoo, Hugh and myself have just relaunched our music blog, either/or after probably a good year of downtime. We have custom built the theme from scratch with the assistance of Penguinboy and are on far stabler hosting now.

If you like music and want to expand your tastes, then check it out! We try to post about all sorts of music and we're not (that) prejudice. Jump in, register, comment, contribute, Like us and enjoy!

Theme is kinda poopy.

Awesome

I like the theme, but the way the content is aligned on the right edge of the page bugs me. I like stuff centered.

Got used to it after 2 seconds, in my opinion it's very stylized and unique to the site.

Liking the minimal design, pretty sleek.

I didn't mind the theme at all. Thought it was great and got used to it immediately.
I like the idea

I'd be interested to see how it looks on a non-widescreen monitor.

Maybe you should resize your browser window

oh derp, haha.

Ok, that's neat, I like how the blog resizes itself.

I think it's kinda fucked up how there's an either/or link on the side and this is stickied.

Sure it's Ants, and he's a member of TWHL, but if that's the case then Scotch and Coffee deserve a thread stickied and a link on the side as well.

I mean, if Ant is paying for advertising (I know someoneis paying for hosting) then that's cool. Otherwise I feel it's kinda inappropriate.

Just sayin'. I don't care past mentioning it.
And I realize it's been on the side for awhile now, but I think the stickied thread is a little overboard.

Didn't notice that this thread was stickied. It shouldn't be. Bad Ant.

The appropriateness of the e/o banner in the affiliates bit is questionable, considering that e/o doesn't even link back to TWHL. Considering that I'm the one paying for hosting, maybe I should put my site there instead

Maybe if I wasn't too lazy to make a banner for it...

If Scotch and Coffee wanted a affiliation link and stickied thread, they could just kindly ask and it would probably happen. Just saying.

I doubt that somehow.

Ant, as the creator of this site, can do whatever he damn well pleases. The sticky is a bit much tho. ;o

Ant was never considered the creator of the site
He designed the HTML, that's about it.

And he smells bad!

Frankly I don't really think the design is appropriate. Sure, it's simple.
To start with, I don't enjoy the font used in the blog posts. Since you're writing about music, hence art, you should use a more stylized one. The current one fits more in a techscience blog imo.

The general aspect of the blog, at a first glance, hardly reminds me of music at all.
I don't know webdesign, but I say what I feel I should look at.

Also I see you're sometimes providing download links. They are pretty bland and don't stand out from the rest of the text. That's just lazy.
And the background of it is spartanic, I would somehow suggest the idea of art with a subtle, non-eye-catching background.

Not meaning to make you angry Ant, just saying my opinions :).

Would it be possible to have you give some feedback on a few tunes I'm working on? I have a little project that I want to "release", with the hope that someone somewhere might like it.
