There is an old saying I
am reminded of at this time... "the best laid plans of mice and
men..."
I had planned on having
the magazine back up and running by this time, but of course life
got in the way of my plans. As I said in an earlier posting, I am
completely re-working the magazine. I want it to reflect the new
technology and be viewable by everything from your desktop computer
to cell phones. Up until this point, and including this page that
you are viewing, I have done all the layouts in a table format. By defining
the table size, I was able to design everything to fit on the
standard piece of paper that is in everyone's printer. The idea, of
course, being that it made the magazine home printable. In recent
years though, less and less people have downloaded the printable
version of the magazine because more and more of you are reading it
through other devices, or just simply not wanting to print the
magazine out. This is part of the reason why I am changing the
format.
We will be going to a
more "web site" format, with different navigation and a
whole different look. This will make it much easier to view all the
pages of the magazine (and yes, I'm still calling it a magazine!) no
matter what device you use to view it on. But creating a new look
and a new site from scratch is hard to fit into my already hectic
schedule. I work 7 nights a week and have school and homework, so
finding "extra" time to work on the magazine has been
tough. The only good news is that I see light at the end of the
tunnel! I have been able to re-structure about 90% of the pages so
far and expect (oh THAT word again) to have the magazine up and
functional this month.
I apologize for the delay
and hope our loyal readers will stay loyal and keep looking for us.
I do promise that when it's done, we will be better than ever and
worth the wait!
