And yet again. Why is it always NME that get my journalistic/designsnob on her soapbox these days. First it was dull layouts with excessive white-space.


I forgave them, thinking that at least the website was updated daily with decent content, and a fairly solid design. But no. 


People are being paid good money to update this site and can't even manage basic formatting that our lecturer Bernie would stab us for forgetting. It's ridiculous.


A one-off cock up could maybe be excused. But every time I seem to check a news story beyond the first page, there's a mistake much the same. Which makes me think there's either someone being very lazy with a mistake-ridden template. 


Or. They're creating the code from scratch each time and making the same mistake every time.


I don't know which is worse.



I'm done procrastinating now. Hurrah. Back to work. Expect a proper piece up soon - there's a new Jimmy Eat World album that's just screaming for my attention...




 

I sat down with amazing intentions. Another rant was going to flow from my fingertips as, once again, NME continue to annoy me with their obnoxious amounts of advertising.


Don't get me wrong. Adverts make money, money means better things are possible. But when you're almost exclusively advertising to males, and alienating your female readership. Well. There's a problem.


And the real irony of it is that this is going on while they're printing and supporting Ryan Jarman's comments (although not necessarily the pint-throwing...) on how sexism in the music industry shouldn't exist.


But to be honest, it's pointless even trying to put up an argument when things like this exist in the world....


There's not really much else you can say after that, is there...?
