Thank you for having subscribed to the newsletter of Whim Internet Magazine.
For those of you who are receiving this letter for the very first time, let me tell you its purpose: the Whim Newsletter will enter your mailbox late Thursday night at the end of production (though Whim's official publication date is Friday). This shall inform you about the new edition so you can immediately stop working, ignore all those around you, and read Whim from front to back. In this little letter I'll let you know the cool (or not so cool) things that happen in the magazine. Think of it as the insider's scoop into what goes on. I also write another letter on the front page of Whim that serves as a humorous (riiight) address to our reading audience. So check that out! We hope to post these newsletters very shortly off the website, so if your e-mail maxiumum security watchdog deletes all my e-mails, don't fret, you might have just become a Whim staff
member!
Insider Scoop #1: Why does Whim Director Andrew Lent constantly refer to the proletariat in his weekly address when he is obviously a middle-class white kid whose stint as a member of the working-class was his summer job as a construction "get-that-tool" man for his ex girlfriend's dad?
Well folks, that answer is simple: he frankly doesn't know. He can't even remember when or where it started. Just laugh. That is what he wants you to do. Laugh it all off.
This Week in Whim
We've done a lot of tinkering with the website (staying far later than we really needed to) in order to get it that one-step away from perfection. We still need more pictures in order to finally purge the fruit from our system, but we should have that by next week. As far as the website is concerned, we're really, really happy with this year's design and would appreciate any feedback people had to offer. Just e-mail us at whim@radford.edu and we may even post your feedback on our Awards page!
Stay tuned to the Whim Newsletter in the continuing weeks for more insider scoops and detailed information about the doings of the magazine. If you have any questions, go ahead and send them to the previously mentioned e-mail and I can answer them in the next newsletter!
