I remember when i did the PGJ for about 10 months a number of years ago. It was a TON of work doing a print magazine. Special software and learning how to use it, doing articles in the correct size and formats, placing ads, man it was intense. Jim didn't make it easier either, but that's another story.

In today's world, it's easier to have a blog and post stuff in a blog. It gets out to people faster and it's way cheaper and way quicker and way less work. I think each issue Jim printed was about $3000+ once you included the actual printing and the mailing costs. That's a crapload of money! Back then I was putting out issues about one every 6 to 8 weeks and Jim was getting mad, because that's $3000+ each issue, and he couldn't keep up with the money! The advertising $ was coming, but not fast enough to cover the costs. If it were me i would have handled the money differently, but he had a system, and unfortunately that system depended on issues coming out a lot slower!

I should point out the whole reason i took on the editor job was that Jim got cancer. He needed to concentrate on fixing that. Frankly i don't think that ever really got "fixed", and it makes for a very tired Jim...
