Ezine First Edition Almost Ready
Well the shadows lengthened and night has fallen on September 1st 2005 here in Australia. Today is my deadline for publishing the first ezine edition of The Health Gazette. Fortunately it is published from one of my US based servers so I still have some time up my sleeve.
It's just as well too. What a big job it is, trying to get a first edition "to press". All of the template choices, layout decisions and so on have to be made. Later editions simply need fresh content, although of course, some gradual modifications to the look and feel can always be in order if necessary.
It has taken quite some time to get the ezine, or newsletter if you prefer, actually this far advanced. First we were going to be publishing several newsletters, one for each of the Tylee Health Education network of sites, but that was clearly going to be too onerous.
In the end we chose to merge them into just one decent publication and to give it a centralised domain of its own from which it can serve the network. We took no advice on this, it was all our decision, so we're left with no one else to blame if it proves to have been a mistake to do it this way.{ ;-) That's fine though, we're into personal responsibility.
Well this was just a very short break to take a moment to relax (well, reflect, may be a better term). I must get back to publishing. If you want to know what all the effort is for, go to one of my domains, say Healthy-Vitamin-Choice.com and subscribe to The Health Gazette ezine edition.
On that page you'll also see some of The Health Gazette blog edition pulled by XML feed into the HTML page. It's all good stuff, take a look.
