As I posted to an earlier reply, the web design seems terrible, but
it's probably not common to have the blind read the paper. I wonder
how it's readership compares to the dailies?

The printed magazine is pretty badly designed as well, so that's not
too surprising. You could always write to them and see if they can
improve the site? I get the impression it is an effort from a very
small group of people, so you might get some good results.

Might give that a go then. It's always a bit difficult knowing when to
jump in. You don't want to come over a whiner and all that do you?
