To make online publications needs a lot of creativity, so it would be a shame to destroy that by picking a low-grade online publishing software package. Actually, selecting a software provider is the most important part of producing an ezine. And bear in mind that they don’t only give advice on putting your content into a pleasant format. Simplicity of use is the main thing you want from your chosen software. The software could be the most amazing you’ve seen - but without being able to use it, it isn’t worth a single penny… The e-brochure you’re creating should be important enough to you for you to try out different providers.

We strongly suggest you check out our extensive page for digital catalog software pointers!

Further major preparations you need to make are safeguarding security. The next thing on the list should be spammers. How is the agreement secured? What about the content? What is in place which stops individuals copying and pasting your content?

Has a marketing plan been created? Whatever your marketing plan may look like, you will need to consider these matters, possibly not for every single publication but instead for your company in its entirety. How will you use modern media? What thought has been given to dealing with adverts? Marketing your e-brochure will probably need search engine appropriate content. What about mixing paid for and free content? You might think about offering single copy subscriptions. Will you be monetizing your content ? Will you be using teasers to sell this online publication? What’s the availability of your newsletter? Will it be private: in which case you should be able to investigate several hosting possibilities or is it public? If public you should host directly. What’ll you do about back-isues?

Technical support provided by the host is your prime consideration. Are you able to call in or email anyone with questions? Be assured by their response time! What are their FAQ pages like? Possibly this seems minor, but should there be an emergency, you’ll be relieved you considered this beforehand. You set the achievement of your digital publication by choosing the best software package provider. Rewards follow cautious choice.

Producing an ezine is a lot of effort, therefore you wouldn’t want to spoil all that with the wrong ezine software. Actually, selecting a software supplier is one of the most important decisions you’ll take when you produce digital publication. They do a lot more than simply help you in formatting your content.

Being easy to operate is the most important feature to look for. Because of course, it doesn’t matter how extraordinary the package is if you yourself can’t use it… Make the time to dry run different packages before you select a provider for your ebrochure. The next big piece of preparation you’ll need to do is safeguarding security. Now you should be concerned about spammers. Do you understand whether the account has been protected? Is the content protected? Which measures have been taken to prevent individuals from simply copying and pasting the words? When you’ve created an interactive magazine that’s the point to make up a business plan. Ads, social-media, these are sections which need to be covered no matter which business strategy is being used. Search engine friendly content would also be very important as you consider marketing this ezine.

Will the content only be offered for free? How about offering several possibilities for subscription? Also, the nature of your content - is it monetized in any way or is this solely a not-for-profit venture? How about providing teasers and summaries to market your magazine? How available is the magazine? If it’ll be private you can look into all your hosting possibilities or is it public? If public you will be best hosting directly. What’ll you be doing about back-isues?

Some workarounds should be looked at in advance prior to encountering an emergency. Namely, tech support. How is their FAQ page? Also check any sort of how-to guide they may feature. If the response time isn’t published you should ask questions. How well-manned is their tech-support line or email address? Tech support might be your last consideration but it needs to be a deciding factor in your choice. You really don’t want to find out the hard way that they’re not up to it… The final choice in supplier could make or break your carefully crafted magazine. Finally, try googling the terms “create digital edition” for more useful ideas.

Low standard flash software will break even the most imaginative electronic magazine. The most important call to take when you’re making an online newspaper is selecting your software provider. It’s not a trivial question of just picking some good format for your magazine - indeed this decision is important because it may well mean the difference between success of failure for your overall venture.

Out of the features you should examine closely, being easy to use is the most important. The software could be the most impressive you’ve seen - but if you’re unable to actually use it, it’s worth nothing to you! Make sure to dry run different packages before you pick a provider for your ebrochure. Further major preparations you need to make are safeguarding security. You should be thinking about spammers and hackers. How is the work secured? What security measures are in place which stops people from just copy-pasting the subject? Once you’ve created a flash brochure that’s the point to make up a marketing timetable. Ads, social-media, these are things that should be covered no matter which marketing plan is being used. Search engine friendly content is also highly important as you consider marketing your ezine.

Can you combine paid for and free content? Will you provide double or triple subscription possibilities? The nature of your content, as well - is it monetized or is this venture not-for-profit? Will you be providing teasers and summaries to sell your digital publication? How available is your brochure? Is it private: in which case you can look into several hosting options or will it be public? In which case you will probably be better hosting directly with your supplier. What will you do with back-isues?

Prior to it being a necessity you need to think about some possibly hairy issues. How do you gauge the level of tech support? Is it simple a matter of a page of FAQs? Also check whatever how-to guide they may have. Do they publish their response time? How well staffed is their tech-support line or email address? The importance of tech support really cannot be over-estimated. Chances are you really don’t want to find out the hard way that they’re attempting to cut corners to your detriment here… When you’ve decided to make an online publication such as an electronic brochure, making the right choice of digital publishing software host may determine your success. Decide carefully, and you’ll be a great success.

I grew up in the animated, colorful neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York where slang changes your perspective on everything. It’s no secret some of the craziest slanguage originated here. What is this phenomenon called slang and what is its purpose? Is it an amplifier for a phrase we wouldn’t otherwise notice like, Fugghettabout it, or a mangling of a perfectly understandable language? Who knows, but it sure is motivating!

Back in college, I had professor, err, what’s his name, who on the first day of class discussed what was required for the semester. As is usual practice for most professors on the first day of lecture, he explained why there wasn’t any reason we couldn’t achieve a passing grade in his course. He said “You gotta have one special thing”. Then turned to the blackboard and wrote a single word in enormous, white, chalky letters, double underlined it, then nailed it with an explanation point. The word was “WANNA”. What the professor was saying, basically, was that if we had made the decision to pass the class, then we would. We only needed to want to pass in order to make the grade. It was very motivating even if it wasn’t proper English.

While I barely remember the subject matter in that course or, my professor’s name, his message had a lingering effect. I applied that single, motivating, beautiful, slang phrase to everything I thought I couldn’t do, particularly in times when I doubted myself and my own abilities. The phrase, You Gotta Have Wanna, was a proverbial push for me to get up and do something. Being a writer of children’s fiction, I ran with it. I found a voice and an audience for this phrase and discovered that all sorts could benefit from it, especially:

• Children considering a weight loss/behavioral program;
• Teens and Families struggling with eating disorders;

• Children with degenerative or genetic diseases/the healing process/finding a cure;
• The physically impaired to strive through their challenges;
• Anyone, anywhere who dreams, has hope of a change and decides to make it happen!

Heck, even a politician could use the phrase in his campaign! The possibilities are endless!

When it comes to writing, here are no boundaries as to where we can get our motivation. The ability to make sense out of nonsense is where real creativity comes in on both the part of the writer and reader. Dr Seuss did it by reversing sentences such as “I am Sam” to “Sam I am”, and still, it makes perfect sense to us. Slang phrases can have the same effect by being expressed in an or exaggerated, not so proper, way which peaks and keeps our interest. My suggestion: take what’s creative and catchy and use it to hook your readers. You might just be on to something wonderful!

Jacko is whacked, but are we?

By Daryl Jung

Now that they’ve let go the Wacko, Nancy Grace’s sanity is to be feared for.

I was sitting in a Toronto coffee shop, commiserating with the radiant Rosie Levine about the trials and tribulations of the modern journalist, when it hit me, us — we are truly victims of circumstance (see Levine’s TV/Radio piece in this issue) ( http://www.fwointl.com/artman/publish/article_309.shtml ) in that we must do our jobs, whether we like it or not.

Later that evening I tried to apply this theorem to MSNBC and Court TV harridan Nancy Grace (the mother of all misnomers or what?), as she shrieked and wailed over the verdict and chastised the jury of the Michael Jackson child-molestation case.

I couldn’t do it. Grace is the epitome of dichotomy. On one hand, she’s an ultra-biased bigot, railing against the hopelessly hapless Jacko like an hemorraghing hippo in heat.

On the other, she’s a wired, wide-eyed doe, caught in the headlights, with nary an inkling that she herself is a victim, not only of her own prejudice, but of the inevitable ebbs and flows of a warped, wonderful popular culture that defy any and all logic — and which Grace, clearly, just does not grasp. So, which is it? Is the graceless Grace a victimizer or a victim?

She certainly makes no bones about her hatred for, and envy of, Peter Pan incarnate, which makes her reporting of his conundrum absolutely unreliable.

She’s the National Inquirer of the airwaves, she doesn’t look before she leaps, and gives not a single hoot about anyone or anything beyond herself and her no doubt gargantuan paycheques. Jimmy Swaggart without the swagger. A voice in the night, a cry in the dark, a singer without a band.

And yet it’s hard not to pity the poor thing as she churns up her stomach contents and strains her neck and optic muscles like a baby ostrich hatching. She really oughta take (your choice of drug here) and relax those sausage-lips.

Will it take an on-air seizure for producers to realize that this reporter should be in a mental hospital, not in front of the camera? Well, the sad truth is that it’s very, very likely. Shades of Peter Finch in Network.

Grace was obviously mad as a hatter before Larry King turned her loose on his unsuspecting, undeserving audience. But now that they’ve let go the Wacko, I not only fear for her sanity, but also for the well-being of her viewers, who, like moths to a bonfire, cannot, inexplicably, turn her off.

My guess is that she will not get past this. She’ll seethe and simmer and take every opportunity to rage against what she perceives to be injustice until she either drops dead or drives her demographic completely around the bend — whichever comes first.

She won’t commit suicide on TV, probably (perhaps unfortunately), but it ain’t much of a stretch to imagine her head exploding or the eyeballs shooting out of her head. Which almost happened when the Jackson jury foreman, on Grace’s own show, calmly stated, post verdict, that he has no doubt whatsoever that the Whack is a pedophile, but because he is a celebrity, the foreman and cohorts had to be careful to treat him like “a normal human being, just like everybody else.”

Heck, even I was taken aback by this idiocy, until I realized it made no sense whatsoever (or, perfect sense) and thanked aloud the good Lord in heaven that I didn’t have to cover the stinking thing.

And what do I do? Waste an entire column, about the second strangest creature involved in it, on it. So I am a victim then, as are all journalists, of the weirdness, the death of morality, the decimation of justice, the medication of the masses, the onslaught of chaos, the sheer, outright, abject insan…

Ooops! Sorry. You’ll have to excuse me. Nancy Grace is on, and it’s time for my meds. So, with a forget-it-Jake-it’s-Chinatown emphasis, I’ll utter this:

Hey, kids. It’s not your fault! The world got weird before you even decided to write about it. But since you have, like Nancy Grace, you’ve got to call ‘em, (perhaps unfortunately), as you see ‘em.

And damn them crazy torpedoes anyway.
