As a longtime supporter of ArrowTrade, he kept telling me that digital online content was here to stay and that this magazine needed an online presence. I started my career in journalism back in 1977, when typewriters and moltenlead linotype machines were still in use, so it took plenty of convincing. Finally, Martin said he'd help us set up and host a website so we could start posting articles online. That was in 2005. In the years since, the ArrowTradeMagazine. com site has served as a library of articles available as PDF downloads. The newer interactive site at ArrowTradeMag.com we launched in 2008 has a lot more features but it requires a high speed connection. One reason we keep the ArrowTradeMagazine site active is because it works well even if you're using a slower dial-up connection. My daughter Anne, our technology manager and graphic designer, took on the task of planning a new ArrowTradeMagazine site. Before we went too far, we researched sites hosted by other magazines in the hunting industry. Most of them seemed geared to serving advertisers with intrusive ads without a whole lot of editorial content. Mom tried to raise me to follow the principle that "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all." I think she'll forgive a single word. I would call them "frenetic," which Webster's New College Dictonary defines as "agitated or confused." By contrast, you'll find ArrowTradeMagazine.com pretty calm and organized. Right now its main purpose is to catalog, store and present a decade's worth of content. Like with any good library, you're able to search for articles in multiple ways. You can scroll through the issues through the years or jump to selected topics, like bow reports or tuning columns. Fans of John Kasun's Lighter Side, which I strongly suspect is the first page many readers turn to, will find plenty to chuckle at over there. I personally think his current column, on page 114, is his best ever but then again, I can relate to a husband who makes clever remarks about his wife and lives to regret them. We'll be adding features to both websites in the months to come, so I encourage you to visit them frequently. The addresses are easy to remember at ArrowTradeMag.com and ArrowTradeMagazine.com.
