Website Review

A quick round up of some of the best and worst local websites to be found in the LOWdown Links List
Best or worst is judged by content and/or design (or lack of)

Best		Worst
Agenda C21 - FREE Anti-War Music Local band - the Used Jonnies - get top ranking for their spirited anti-war song	1	Leicester City Council What do you think of the new look City Council site? Here at the LOW office its pretty unanimous, we really don't like the new layout very much...
Leicester Research Excellent introduction to the history, culture and heritage of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland	2	Friends of the Earth Leicester What has happened here? - there's only one page now and a broken link to another. Oh Dear this doesn't look good
Connexions Leicester Shire Loads of useful info for local 13 - 19s including links and local contacts on a wide range of issues	3	Sumpthing Sumpthing, the Leicester bot, first appeared on Robot Wars in 2000, and is now (sadly) to be found on a dark, slow, hard to navigate web site
Green Party Leicester The local Greens have really got their webby act together - nice simple site with all the basic info	4	Edge Skate Park You might - just - be able to read about this new venue in the city centre for BMXers and skateboarders
Leicester Music Scene Showcasing all things musical in the Leicestershire area. Includes web pages for local bands, list of local gigs and Asian music	5	Rutland and Leicestershire Panther Watch Be prepared for a long long scroll through the home page
Blaggin' it! We like a bargain here at LOW and it doesn't get much more of a bargain than this: Write a 200 word review and you can blag two free tickets from BBCi Leicester for a club, music, theatre or a film	6	The Leicester Mockery Also known as the Leicester Mercury. Our main peeve is that the news is only archived for six months and some stories never seem to even get to the archive in the first place
Justice Mail Leicester Church of the Martyrs are making excellent use of the web with their local email scheme that lets you respond to a justice issue each week. Open to anyone to join. Recent issues include torture, landmines and GM coffee.	7	To recommend a top ten website contact Leicesters Other Website
Leicester Secular Society Neat and easy to navigate - if a bit brown. This local society believes in free speech, rational argument, practical humanity and working together. Interesting links list	8	To recommend a top ten website contact Leicesters Other Website
Leicester Markets Details of all of our local markets, including craft and farners markets from Leicester City Council - yes we hate the layout, but have to admit that it's good content	9	To recommend a top ten website contact Leicesters Other Website
Weird Leicester OK, it's a bit cheeky liking ourselves, but we just wanted to make sure you'd seen our new weird pages	10	To recommend a top ten website contact Leicesters Other Website
