I’ve got a backlog of magazines the size of a small mountain and I’m just filing though it over the next couple of days. Today I went through WebDesigner issue 103. Now generally speaking it’s a decent enough magazine. I like some of the tutorials they’ve done (bearing in mind I’ve only bought this mag twice before), this issue had a massive feature about web templates. The last third of the article actually had a decent enough write up of blogging templates and generally explained a lot to the novice about blogs in general.

Our very own ScriptyGoddess got a mention, as did Not (that) Ugly as well. It was really strange seeing these familiar net faces being mentioned in a magazine, but there you have, well deserved Ladies. It’s great to see that WordPress is spoken in the same breathe as Blogger and Moveable Type, hopefully in the coming years it’ll be Blogger, WordPress and then Moveable Type as WP takes over.

Searching for a link to Webdesigner, I’ve got to say for a magazine that is all about the web, that’s an incredibly CRAP online presence they’ve got there. I mean what the hell? Poor, poor showing guys. I expected oh soo much better.

As my magazine subscription to Computer Arts comes close to an end, I’m really thinking about switching over to Digit, as the content in there is more focused on actual reviews and articles, and they provide and really support open source programs. Blender for example was featured in the previous issue, and I found out about Expression via Digit.
