Out on a Limb by christopher schwarz, editor TT 7 POPULAR I • WooDworkine Learn How. Discover Why. Build Better. ^^ ® Turbocharge Your Magazine T he magazine in your hands is just one part of the woodworking information that we create here at Popular Woodworking. And if you like the printed version, I think you'll sop up the online information we provide. I know there are some readers who still resist the Internet. And if that's you, I encourage you to visit your library and use one of the computers there to visit popularwood-working.com and look around. There's lots of information on our site that we don't have room for in the printed magazine: older articles, extra step photos, additional tool reviews and video. Here's a quick look at what's out there (at no additional cost to you): Subscribe to our Free Electronic Newsletter. Every week, we send out a short newsletter via e-mail to tell you about the new content on the site. You'll be the first to find out about new contests, free videos and tool reviews we don't have room for in the magazine . Sign up for the newsletter on our home page. It takes one minute and is the key to exploring all the additional information on our web site. Read our Editor's Blogs. All the editors write for our magazine's blogs, which are like an online diary. While some bloggers chronicle what their kids ate for breakfast, we fill ours with woodworking information. Read about Senior Editor Robert W. Lang's trip to a furniture auction and see the surprising photos he took of the inside of classic Arts & Crafts pieces. And find out the rationale for why Senior Editor Glen D. Huey never finishes the inside of his drawers. Go to popularwoodworking.com/blogs to get started. Also, the easy way to read our blogs is to have the content sent to your e-mail box. To sign up for e-mail notification, look at the top of the blog's main page. Watch our Videos. This year we purchased a digital video camera and are posting instructional videos at popularwoodwork-ing.com/video. Find Additional Content for Each Issue. When we build a project or research a technique for the magazine, we always have additional content to share. And the Internet lets us do that easily. Throughout the magazine, you'll find an icon that tells you there is additional Internet content available. But how do you find that content? It's easy. Each new issue of Popular Woodworking has a special web page that lists all the stories in the magazine and points you to any additional digital content. To get to the page for that issue, you need the month and the year of the issue. You're holding the October 2007 issue. The special page for this issue is popularwoodworking.com/oct07. Next month's issue will be popularwoodwork-ing.com/nov07 and so on. So sign up for the newsletter, sign up for our blogs and check out the special page for this issue. It's really a way to get more woodworking information for the same price you paid for the subscription.
