I thought subscription was valid for a year period. You said it also gives access to all past issues in the library. Now it is measured in quantity, and is 12?
New Magazine - Cue and Table Magazine!
- Thread starter Dakota Cues
- Start date
Let me clarify that:
When somebody signs up, they DO have access for one full year from the date of sign up.
What I meant was that if (and that's a BIG if) I were to make the first issue a free issue just so people could see it's a full sized, 50 page mag, I would extend the subscription lengths already in the system by one month. The readers that subscribed in January only got to read the January issue. If I make the January issue free, then they lost the benefit of their subscription for the month since they are able to read what everybody else can read. That's why I would extend their subscriptions by a month.
Kind of a lengthy explanation, but I hope it makes sense. Again, we're still deciding whether or not to do that with the first issue, but if we do, everyone that subscribes before Feb 1 will get an extension.
Less than 24 hours to go!
Just a reminder that the January subscription promo ends in less than 24 hours!

Good question. The new issue will go up the FIRST of each month.
I'm excited to post the February issue, so it will go up one minute after midnight!

I forgot to mention this in the last response, but when a new issue goes up, I will post the cover and TOC (Table of contents) in this thread so everyone knows.
Thanks!

Thanks and congrats again!
Thanks for the great review, but you earned the subscription with your award winning joke! Unfortunately we didn't have enough to do a full page in the layout I wanted, but the joke section will be in a future issue.

One big plus with an online magazine
That is one big plus of an online magazine. I don't lose it, loan it out, or have it get covered in glue or finishing material in the shop and get ruined.
I wasn't at all sure I liked the concept when I started buying books in the file format. Now I find I prefer to buy them that way. If I need a little information close to hand I print it out, otherwise I keep the file safe on my computer.

Thanks again!
Thanks for the compliments guys.
The February issue has a tutorial on the software. You can probably figure them out by just clicking on them, but that gives you more of an explanation. The format is very life-like, and that's what I wanted with this mag.
Working on the March issue now, and if things go well, I think that issue will be even better!
