WN is now bound inside WM.
Personally, I preferred them separate as the pages are now harder to find and it makes quite an unwieldy magazine. That's the third thing this morning that has changed for no obvious benefit, but it might just be me - I'm not big on change for change's sake.
Spotted two TBers on a quick flick through, though, so well done to them.
I wonder if they just put WN and the supplement in WM for convenience this month. I prefer them separate too.
Saw a few familiar names too.
Well done Kateyanne.
My February WF arrived Christmas Eve, so I was able to take it with me and read it over Christmas.
I do not like the one issue as someone else stated it is a tad unwieldy. I think of WN as my work magazine and tend to cover it in highlight pen marks or even cut parts out for reference. I'm going to try and seperate the two but think perhaps I'll end up with a pile of loose pages.
I wonder if this is due to cutbacks? Perhaps the man who is trained to use the staple gun has been put on short time? We should campaign to have him reinstated!
If they were going to do this all the time it would be awkward as WN only goes to subscribers and WM to subscribers and retail outlets.
But I must say I liked some of this month's changes and clearly there are more to come.

I assumed this was a promotion to get people to subscribe to WN. I'm sure there's a reference to the subscription rates in there somewhere. My bet is that they'll be separate again next month.
Goodness. Not another bondage magazine to fall on my welcome mat. Tsk.
Congrats to Kateyanne and anyone else who has got a mention.
I've been a bit sloppy with my WM competitions lately and keep leaving it too late to submit. I guess that can be another target for 2011. I wish my magazine would arrive though. I always find it a funny experience when I first read it. Initially I read it and then think 'Oh no I'm not as goood as these writers, what on earth am I doing' Then i put it down for a few days and go back to it one article at a time, and realise how helpful it is. Every month without I fail I have to have the sinking feeling before it lifts me up again lol.
I subscribe in part to support TB and in part so I can see what TBers are up to ... the rest I ignore, pretty much!
My two copies are bound together. I quite like it. :)
Good publicity though Daisy.
I often think that one day someone will find me out!
Yup, I do! I use it to announce my weekly Friday Prediction flash competition. I post to my blog whenever I have something published, then tweet about the blog post. I'm looking forward to reading that article.
Did anyone else notice the fake tea/coffee stains on the letters page of WM? At least, I think they were fake...
