1. Welcome from the Publisher
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We would like to welcome all of our new readers to this
the first issue of the Rosary Makers Ezine. You might ask,
"what is an e-zine"? Well, it's an electronic newsletter that
can be delivered in many different ways.
The plans for this e-zine are to publish it on the Internet,
by email, and by e-book. The Internet way is not
different than viewing pages in a website. Email is also
easy. But, what's e-book? So many terms.
An e-book is an electronic book. There are many types.
An Internet search will yield many websites and several
software packages that produce e-books. We already
have an e-book software package that compiles HTML
documents. It has it's own browser and can be navigated
like any browser. The neat feature is that the compilation
results in a file size that many times will fit on a floppy disk,
program and all.
We have been typing in the contents of a small book.
Graphics and all, this book, produced in e-book format
should fit on a floppy disk. It can also be downloaded from our
website, and if we desired, could be view as any website right
on the internet - just as you are viewing this page.
With that out of the way, what about rosaries. Over the
last several years of 'surfing' the web, we have seen an
explosion of websites devoted to Catholic subjects. In an
effort to narrow the focus to rosary related topics, we hope
to 'zoom in' on many aspects of the rosary and rosary
making.
There are so many areas to consider. Devotions, which
are fast declining and being forgotten is one area to look
at. This will be a regular feature of our e-zine. Another is
the art of rosary making. From mission rosaries to the
making of very expensive rosaries. It's more a call than art
or craft; we will explore all these aspects. We hope to lure
some rosary makers into telling us their motivations.
Another topic near and dear to rosary makers is
suppliers. Who are they. What do they supply. How do
they rank for reliability and service. Will they sell to all
buyers or are they "picky" about who they sell to.
We will have other features including free classified
ads. We hope to put people in touch with rosaries and
rosaries in touch with people. We also hope to publish a list
well in advance of conferences, shows, vendor events,
any activity related to rosary making, even some that may
appear to be only remotely related.
So, come join us. Subscribe now to get the first issue
expected to be published on December 1st, 1999. It can't
hurt, it's free. Send an email to mikew@seeds-of-faith.com.
In the subject line place: "subscribe e-zine". In the body of

God bless you.
