Hi all,

We just launched our third Expression Engine powered site over here at In These Times.  This one is for our radio show, Fire on the Prairie.

Feedback is appreciated, particularly in regards to speed and if any ee tags are showing up (as if they weren’t parsed).  I had an issue earlier in the day that I never managed to solve, although the pages seem fine now.

Thanks and I continue to love Expression Engine,
Seamus

Visually, the site looks really great.  I love the simple, clean look of it.  Reminds me a bit of how they’re doing things over at mozilla.org recently.  Really like the header graphic/links, too.

I didn’t see any unparsed tags in my exploration.

Thanks for the nice feedback!  I’ve certainly been inspired by mozilla.org, I think they’re doing everything right.  I managed to trace the unparsed tags to the query caching setting.  For some reason, when I had it on, the homepage wouldn’t parse all the embedded templates.  Didn’t seem to affect speed, since I’m using template caching…

It will be interesting to see if podcasting really catches on.  It could really push the idea of community based broadcasting in a way that low-power FM hasn’t been able to because of excessive FCC regulation.

Anyhow, thanks again.
