LOUNGETEER E-NEWSLETTER / 23 June 2009

--------------------------------------

Hey kids,

The new website has been up for a few days now! You can go to http://loungeteer.com/ to check it out! It’s much much easier to use now.

So, our great and talented copy-editor (well, actually, just me) has done some checking, and there HAS been a fairly-successful magazine for & by home-scholars. It’s called ‘Kid’s Town’; it’s an online magazine that started in 1997.

It seems to have had several interesting issues, and then for some reason stopped, at Volume 6, with no warning or reasons given. The last update was on 6 March 2003. Eventually, the website went offline, the most recent cached record being 22 October 2006. You can go to http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.hwcn.org/~ab448/kidstown/ and Take a look at the archived pages. So now you know.

As always, you can contribute by going to http://loungeteer.com/write/ and filling out the form. Subscriptions or orders (we have a few of the first issue left) are available at http://loungeteer.com/about/one/

LOUNGETEER E-NEWSLETTER / 12 June 2009

--------------------------------------


I have a confession to make -


Throughout the production of the first issue of Loungeteer, I really didn't have a set system of dates or deadlines in which to have different parts of the magazine finished, and I had no idea about how much time it takes to complete certain aspects of production.


That's why the first issue was released so much later than planned.


However now I have set up deadlines, and so you should hopefully expect the next issue to be released on time. I won't bore you with the details, but the date that applies to you the most isJuly 31 - the deadline to have contributions submitted to have them in the next issue.


You can make your contributions by going online to http://loungeteer.com/handouts/ and filling out the form. Again, we accept inspiring, spiritually impacting, or educational articles by our demographic - you, and we'll also accept children’s' drawings, photography, illustration, jokes, recipes, and so on. So what are you waiting for? :)


Anyone who hasn't subscribed or ordered can do so now by printing and filling out the form athttp://loungeteer.com/handouts/ :D
