Why not publish an index of Writing Magazine on the website?

As a long-term subscriber I think it would be invaluable to have a searchable index of Writing Magazine on the website - updated monthly. I have often searched back numbers for that illusive article. To be able to list all a contributor's articles, or trace a subject, and be given the month and page references would be such a boon. So how about it?

    We have one - it's called Jay....

    Of course, if Jay is away for some reason, yes, this would be an excellent idea :)

    Another good idea ewordsmith - contact Webbo!

    I don't keep my copies...
  • Stan2Stan2
    Nor do I. But for those who do, it would be a good idea!

    I actually thought that this website WAS an online version of the magazine -which seems like a good idea to me, since you could then just type in a search. And then I wouldn't have to groan my shelves with yet more copies i can never find anything in... You'd have to be subscriber of course... but if you were just a visitor, perhaps you could pay a fee and get a certain number of articles about what you wanted. That way it might even pay...

    I throw the magazines out after one year now, McB.

    Which magazine does a six month index on the back page of the magazine and a full index at the end of the year- quite useful.

    Think it's The Enemy!

    Jay - I was just going to look for "The Enemy" magazine on Google when I realised what you meant! (I must be having a dopey day!!)

    I still don't understand, I really must be having a dopey day. Someone put me out of my misery- you can whisper. :)

    I think even I can explain this one carol !!

    You said "Which magazine does a six month index......."
    Now this sounds like a question, so Jay said "Think it's The Enemy" (I think thats a good explanation from me !!! :) )

    ?
    I must really be having a bad day here...
  • JennyJenny
    This is getting confusing!
  • CarolCarol
    Ah thanks Lexia.
  • CarolCarol
    I think I should go to bed for a week, then wake up and find today has been a bad dream. :)
  • lexialexia
    hehe :)
  • JennyJenny
    Carol - I think even one day relaxing in bed would be good for you - being waited on by your obliging family!
  • CarolCarol
    that would be the day!
