Well, I did it, and it's even still the 15th, so I'm not even fudging. :-)

The website is up, complete with a 20%-off deal if you subscribe before January 15th. (If you've visited the old site, you'll want to refresh; everything's different. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy for the basic template.)

The website needs a LOT of work, but it is my first PHP project, and I'll be fiddling with it a ton between now and press time, so be gentle with me. :-)

Yay! *bounce*

Link's not working for me...

Nor for me. I'm on Comcast.

I was redirected to the url:
http://www.com.org/?not_found=42magazine.com

"42magazine.com was not found on our servers. www.com.org is shown below."

..and a page links to other sites.

Fixed. Thanks. Yeesh. (at me, not at you)

Yeesh. I guess I should've tested my own link, huh?

(I was tired, and I had a naked boy summoning me to bed. :-)

Fixed.

Two most excellent reasons! Off to wander the new site now...

Looks great!

The PayPal button numbers don't match the prices shown on the web-page, though (single is $4 on button, $5 on page). Might want to update that...

If you read the text between the prices and the button, you'll see that there's currently a 20% discount in effect.

I see. Maybe put that ABOVE the prices, or in red, or something else for those of us who are addlepated?

Date: 2008-11-16 03:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] serenejournal.livejournal.com
Sure. I'll do that right now. :-)

Also... is it an electronic 'zine only, or an actual paper copy to be delivered to your door? If the latter, do you offer a break for people who are wiling to go all-e to save some bucks?

I know... you didn't ask for feedback, but I'm shoveling it towards you anyway. It's full of xxx's and ooo's!

Oh, I'm lovin' it. That's why I am showing my friends my work in progress. :-)

It's a print mag. Not going to be available online except as archives after the fact. And the e-version is offered to those who need the accessibility of it, but there's no price break, and those people are welcome to have a print copy to give away.

Sadly, I can't see the website, either. Firefox states server is down. =(

Fixed. I was a dumbhead.

Me too - Firefox on a MacBook running Tiger, "server is down, yada yada"

Not saying that I could afford to do this right away, but when I can, does the $100 lifetime sub apply to Canadian orders, too?

Date: 2008-11-16 05:15 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] serenejournal.livejournal.com
Yes, and I really should put some stuff up there about international orders. Thanks for the impetus!

OK, I was successful on Firefox.
But I was bothered by the surprise $7 shipping and handling tagged on mid-transaction. The total price should just be posted earlier on. I don't think anyone expects S&H for a magazine.

From: [identity profile] serenejournal.livejournal.com
That's good feedback. Give me some time to ponder; perhaps a shipping-included price is the way to go (it was my original plan).

Date: 2008-11-16 06:26 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] serenejournal.livejournal.com
Question, just for my pondering: Did the "shipping is $1.75 per issue" not register, or did it seem like that would be included in the $4 per issue price?

Cool! I am super tired, so I will look through the site more tomorrow, but at first blush, this image isn't loading:

http://42magazine.serenepages.com/logo.png

(It looks like it's supposed to be a logo in the top left.)

You're not getting a dead-image box or anything, are you? That's where the logo will go when we've got the logo ready, but if it's messing up your page, I can take that code out for the time being.

(I think the site is hopelessly plain and boring, but it should get better as people with actual visual sense help me with it, and once we have art to post. I'm wayyyyy too non-visual and linear to manage anything but the written content, at this point, and luckily, it's not an e-zine. :-)

Oh, it's not messing up the page. But yeah, I get a little box with a question mark inside it.

Hmm. I wasn't, so I left it in, but consider it gone, and THANKS! :-)
