I want to mention that although we went ahead and released the magazine a few days ago, for your reading pleasure, Lisa Bennett has continued to work very diligently on perfecting the pages.

    Thank you for your 'musings' about the January AllWrite. We would appreciate it even more if you would send in feedback to the magazine so the staff can review it together and see if we can improve based on people's comments.

    Regarding the previous/next buttons - not sure what you are referring to there. There has never been a plan to remove those. I don't know who told you that - but that was never a 'plan'. They are small and not overbearing, I can't see how they 'ruin it.'

    Thank you for the compliments about the articles, etc. As far as anything regarding appearance, we were under time constraints and trying to put together something that was beautiful in a short period of time. As you know, the person doing our coding left us and we could not go forward so quickly with that same design. I think we did quite well considering the deficit we started out with -

    Please do send in feedback if you would - we appreciate anything our readers notice - and whether its changed or not, your opinions are valued.

    Thoughts and musings.

    weren't you going to get rid of the next/previous buttons?

    They sort've ruin it.

    I like the writing depicting the sections, it's quite beautiful and elegant.

    Some of the picture, due to the absence of any sort of text wrap, looked as if they had been indifferently stuck in there and looked really out of place. (for instance in The Buzz)

    The acromyn in The Buzz was off center.

    Thimoty's link on it was too big for the page.

    Tongue in cheek history pictures are really blurry.

    The health section is done really well. My compliments, it's quite detailed.

    on the intervies, they're not consistant. One of them has the answers in italics and the other doesn't.

    The articles in this magazine are mostly pretty amazing. I think everyone has a secret obsession with some myth or another so it was very relevant to most of people.

    I'm glad the magazine stopped playing it safe with topics.

    just some thoughts and musings.

    L8RZ!!!


    Justified isn't always the best option, it can make some line spacing look weird.

    I'm not completely certain but as far as I know it's a current shortcoming of the wiki that's running it. Best way I could explain it is that it requires that 2500 to archive..

    It looks great. All the hard work is worth it. I looked at it earlier, and took another peek just now. Its impressive to say the least.

    I know about your writing, but I guess I'm just now paying enough attention to the graphics you use. They are beautiful, and add very well to your page.

    The e-zine is very nice, but I have a question for the technical people that put it up: Why port 2500? That blocks most of us from being able to see it when we're behind company firewalls. Will it not work to have it under a different page from the rest of the site, but still served at port 80? I'm just sad that I can't read it on my lunch break. That has nothing to do with the quality of the e-zine (which is very good - I can read it from home)

    Having had to spend some years reading academic books on mythology, etc. it is such a pleasure to read some of these articles. It makes the mythos more human, if you know what I mean. Many thanks for enlivening them.

    A good issue, except it looks compressed and the words are too big, but other than that it was interesting.

    Hmmm Lets see I started reading Greek/Roman Mythology when in Juior High way back when. and then I got involved in D&D when in High School. I have had a pretty wide exposure to Mythology. I will have to go and see these new pages and it will give me something to do on these cold nights. We've just had our first dusting of snow, so it is getting to be a little chilly. Have a good one Touch! Red

    well done!

    I have read every text and book on all of the major and minor mythologies. I love them and use some of them in my writings.
    Bulfinch's Mythology, History of Celtic Mythology, American Indian Mythology, and many more books in the various stories.
    I find this very good fuel for my writings at times.
