Portals Bits Hello dear readers,Blogger has been a pain lately so its been difficult to get in and update. I am hoping this will publish!Good News! All pre-orders, with the exception of some Int'l, have been mailed!! I will work on the Int'l ordered today. They are a bit slower since each one has to be prosessed for postage individually.Yesterday we had a bit of a scare when our server crashed in what was supposed to be a back up session. We lost the entire site but fortunately had pretty good back ups. Again, Hope was a life saver in battling blogger into submission and getting us back up again so quickly. Thank You!We just got some rather exciting news for a new project. We are hammering out the details and will hopefully be able to post something in the next week.Until then, we have plenty of Zines available still, so if you haven't ordered, go for it!

Hello dear readers,

Good News! All pre-orders, with the exception of some Int'l, have been mailed!! I will work on the Int'l ordered today. They are a bit slower since each one has to be prosessed for postage individually.

We just got some rather exciting news for a new project. We are hammering out the details and will hopefully be able to post something in the next week.

Until then, we have plenty of Zines available still, so if you haven't ordered, go for it!

Off to bed... In the publishing world, finishing up a publication to go off to the printer is known as "putting it to bed". Again, thanks to Ernesto and various other things, we are running a tad behind but I think we are going to make our deadline to put #3 to bed. Normally about now I would be in panic state at the thought of being faced with the task of the production part. This is my absolute least favorite part of doing Portals. BUT, this time its a bit different because our fairy god-father (my Dad) set us up with a new printer! This printer not only prints MUCH faster than my existing one but its print duplex (both sides), collates, folds, staples and more! The test runs have been VERY favorable and we are actually looking forward to going to press.Now that this lovely new website is up, I have updated the order page and issue #3 is ready for ordering. Woohoo!
