Internet Dawn Goldberg Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=185325&ca=Internet Consistency is the key to a well designed e-zine. Aside from the format (look and feel) of the e-zine, the layout and order of your e-zine must be consistent. When you pick up a book to read, you expect the book to run in a certain order: the title page, copyright information page, possibly a table... Writing Dawn Goldberg Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=192182&ca=Writing We all hit that place in the life of our E-zine, that place where we just sit at our computers scratching our heads.
