For those of you that do use RSS, did you know there are separate feeds for each of the main subjects of this blog?

The Music Blog, covering reviews, music news and stuff

And the entire site in “Firehose mode” for those of you that really do want to read everything.

There are tag feeds and comment thread feeds too, to many to list them all. Just put “/feed” at the end of just about any URL on this site and you’ll get an RSS feed you can add to the RSS reader of your choice.

What do regular readers think of it? Is it an improvement? Let me know in the comments.

I’ve introduced “asides”, which are those short one-paragraph posts that don’t have any headers and categories displayed on the blog pages.

The changes aren’t complete yet. One thing that still needs doing is to sort out the headers of the category pages – They’re really subject-specific sub-blogs, and I’m considering giving each one a different colour scheme to differentiate them further.

I’m also changing the front page so it’s no longer an all-category firehose but something more cut down and intended to lead people to the individual category sub blogs. Another thing in the pipeline might be to completely restyle some of the individual category pages, especially the record review and live review pages.

What does anyone think?
