Thanksgiving was fun, no? Having got our fill of turkey and
family, we're settling back in to a regular publishing schedule.
The December issue is at the printer and the fact that it's a
double issue allows us to catch our collective breath for a moment
and address some reader concerns about the current incarnation of
this website.
First, several readers complained that the font sizes were too
small. We bumped the normal font sizes up all around and then
decided to make the text size of the articles variable. Hope that
did the trick.
Second, we continue to receive queries about how people can
become "members" to access the
archives. The wording is unfortunate and will be changed soon.
What it's supposed to say is that only subscribers can access the
electronic archives of the print magazine, and even that would be
premature. As of yet, we do not have a digital archive of the print
mag on the web. (It's in the offing but may take a bit.)
On a related note, readers continue to sign up for a newsletter
that, thus far, does not exist. You are not, however, signing up in
vain. Come the new year, we plan to put something together.
Third, some people have problems finding old Prowler
articles either because they are following links that no longer
work or because the new search engine
doesn't work exactly the way they expect it will. We suggest that
you first try to select a columnist from the list and click "Show
Results." If that doesn't work, try typing the author's name into
the "Global Search" right below. And if that doesn't work, drop us
a line and we'll try to assist you.
Finally, a request: If you enjoy reading TAS online,
realize that it's made possible by donations and subscriptions to
the print version of the The American Spectator. If you
enjoy what you read here and would like to make sure that it's
around for a good long time, please subscribe.
