VW MAG, i\'m jumping in... AUSSIE VEEDUBBERS listen up!

vdub2c · 2003-01-22T05:24:28+00:00

ok kids, i've decided to take the plunge. I'm gunna create a vw mag... but here's what i need from you first off... Do you want it in softcopy (i.e. on the net on a webpage) for no cost whatsoever.... OR do you want a hardcopy mag to be sent out... obviously not gunna be free... EDIT::: just to make it clear, the mag won't be the print quality of other mags, may not even be colour until i can organise something - a deal and subscriptions etc... so keep that in mind when voting.. thanks 🙂 IT"S EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER, I"M NOT DOING BOTH TO CATER FOR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.... not yet anyways 😉 MORE POLLS AND QUESTIONS TO COME.... please don't reply, just vote... if you have something you want to ad, email me. Thanks a bunch. i will let the poll go for a week or so, so get your votes in and be heard! tell everyone! :kiss :bounce:bounce:bounce "I'M EXCITED!!!" :bounce:bounce:bounce P.S: Could someone lock this thread up the top of the general forum just for a while.. would really appreciate it.. i need as much feedback as possible. Thanks. [Edited on 22-1-2003 by vdub2c] [Edited on 22-1-2003 by vdub2c]

I've been heaps slack Yanni - I will have to write another article although I still have the pics I took. I can find the original anywhere. The Dog-O-War is undergoing a paint job soon so I had better hurry up and get it posted while its Orange - won't stay like that for long hopefully.

Hey it would be great to see a aussie VW mag, i get fed up of only seeing english mags that have a thing for grade A cars and vans only and don't seem to care for the normal everyday veedub.
would love to help out anyway i can but i might be a bit to far to help you out over here in england. the offer is there if your interested tho.
good luck anyways 😀

I've installed a CMS into the magazine space.

What I'd like to happen is:

For the people who jumped in and said "hey we'll be editors" to contact me and I'll create you an account which can edit graphics / layout / templates and submit / edit articles. The product I've chosen is very customizable. Too much so. What I'm saying is, if you can't get the CMS to look and act like you want, I'd be very very surprised.

For the people who just want to submit stories, I will create an account with it so you can easily create new stories and edit your own stories.

The idea is that the editors will look after the magazine's look and feel and create departments.

Content producers (like Jen for example) could submit whenever they liked. For example, I could theoretically give an account for VW to publish their own PR into the magazine's press releases area for example.

Please go have a play:

Don't wait for me - just get into it 🙂
