creating a magazine?

[tuanhuylink]

We're thinking about making a little magazine for our comunity, a monthly issue reguarding music news, tabs of forum member's songs, music tutorials and stuff like that just to have something to add to the music forum and possibly get more traffic. Does anyone know of any programs where you can desgin a magazine...I know there's something on Microsoft works, or there used to be, but it was really really basic. Any ideas? Thanks.

You mean something like https://madmagz.com/ this you can self host for a fee for the script.

That MadMagz site looks pretty cool. For me, I just use WordPress... WordPress.com or WordPress.org (self hosted)...

You can create something in word prosessing /dtp software then just convert it to pdf and upload that.

I'm using Indesign for my fanzine but Publisher works too.

If you want to make newsletter type magazine then TinyLetter can be one good option too. It can be used for the subscription based content magazine too. They have that system added into it.

Jut looked at Tinyletter. That's not a magazine that's a email newsletter. The only subcribers mentioned are email subscribers, and it says they no longer do paid subscriptions. https://tinyletter.zendesk.com/hc/e...-I-charge-for-subscriptions-to-my-TinyLetter-
