Hot off the "Press"

gillumhouse · Feb 9, 2017

As all on this Forum are aware, I am a shy, retiring person. (No snorting coffee on the monitor permitted!) I had suggested doing a Newsletter to the UK B & B group as a benefit of membership - so was elected as the editor of said newsletter. After 3 issues, it was decided the newsletter was not classy enough. A search took place for online magazine software. Today, the magazine is being unveiled to the 1000 members of the BedPosts Forum that includes the paid members of The Club. The Featured Inn will be a Club member. It will be bi-monthly and issue #1 is the January/February issue. We delayed with the first issue to "get it right". Photo resolution is a problem with this issue but we are working on that. Feedback appreciated.
BedPostings - we hope you like it but want all feedback to know how to improve it and what we are doing right.

I like the layout. It reads easily. A little tricky on a tablet figuring out how to turn the pages as they didn't turn by tapping the sides or sliding.
I'm assuming the first page is an ad. I'd suggest to the advertiser that all caps and random colors doesn't make for easy reading. Especially someone advertising help with Internet marketing.
I'm ready to go to that manor house in the Cotswolds!

It's not mobile friendly I can't read it on my iPhone without a lot of pinching and expanding and way too much work. I will look at it on desktop tomorrow

I found it a little hard to read the print on the computer, but probably fine in print form. The magazine looked nice.

Try going full screen or using the zoom on your computer. That is how I read ir to do the editing - zoom - since I am blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.

It was very clear on the tablet. Didn't try the laptop. I didn't have to adjust anything.
