General Navigation

The Main Page
You’ll find the latest items here, such as recently recorded Housecasts, news, reviews and comments.

Pages
This is the static content – such as the page you’re reading! Here you’ll find the mixes and mix archives, }Moose’s bio plus other interesting content.

Links
Fairly obvious we hope! Links to Myspace and Twitter as well as other interesting sites.

Search
A powerful search facility that will search through all the content on the site. If you’re looking for a specific track, artist or episode then type in a keyword or two here to find it.

Categories
These are tags used to categorise posts into groups such as “The Housecast Sessions” or “Other Shows” making it easy to find specific content. You’ll find DJ }Moose’s latest mixes under Categories if they are released via RSS (as well as on the Main page).

Post History
All shows, Housecasts, blogs and general posts are here, organised by month and year – simple really! You’ll also find the last four posts plus a calendar to select any date that has a post.

Housecast Feeds
You can click on these icons to subscribe to the RSS feed for the Housecasts. Note that the iTunes icon requires you have iTunes installed on your computer.

Enhanced Features

Audio Content
Any audio content can be played right from the post using the built in player at the bottom of a media post (just click on “Play Now” to enable it). If you want to navigate around the site while listening then use the popup player instead – it opens in its own window. Click on the Download link to save the file to your computer to listen whenever you want.

Comments
Click on the comments link at the foot of each post to, erm, comment! These are visible to all visitors, so keep it clean(ish). You can use styles and formatting in the comments box, as well as links to other websites, although any more than one link in a comment requires moderation before the comment will appear (anti spam measure).

Subscribing and RSS
OK, so you’re bored checking the website to see if there’s any new music? Worry not, and let the content come to you as the micro site supports RSS2 feeds direct to your compatible browser or application.

ENJOY!
