Why I Hate Online Magazines

There is a new, free on-line magazine out there on the internet and I was lucky enough to get an invitation the other day to see the first issue.

The introductory video looked great but then I tried to load it...

and waited...

and waited...

and waited...

and waited...

for all 166 pages to load.

Then when I went to read something it appears that I have to wait again for each two page spread to load even if I load just the page numbers I want to read.

Then I need to enlarge each page individually so I can even read the page displayed.

Definitely not worth my time when most of the pages I reviewed seem to be advertising.

So, that's why I hate on-line magazines... long load time, hard to read th fine print and hard to find what you want to read.

However, in the interest of full disclosure, you may want to add an on-line quilting magazine to your internet favorites list, in that case head on over to Quiltposium and make your own evaluation.
