I've been spending some time in the last couple of weeks putting together a "Best of the Blog" newsletter that contains the stories written by readers. I have been amazed, when looking back and trying to compile the pages with "same subject" content, that there are so many different contributors and stories.
I began this project when Karen Harford mentioned that her dad liked to read those stories that she prints out for him. Printing pages from the blog isn't the best format, so I began putting some of the stories together, planning to put them into a more "printable" format. I also increased the font size to 12 to make it easier to read.
So far, I have compiled 72 pages and am not done! I'm just wondering how many people would be interested in having a "Best of the Blog" newsletter. There is no way that it would be cost effective for me to print and mail it out, unless people were willing to pay for it. Since so much of it is in color, I have no idea how much it would cost. Where I work, it costs me .45 per page to have a color page printed. That would make this newsletter worth its weight in GOLD!!
Then I thought about putting it into PDF format and everyone could print their own pages. But, then, there will be people who will want a copy that don't have access to a color printer.... and then there are people who don't have computers but would like a copy.... Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all!!
Any suggestions?
