One of Syntagma’s Network Magazines Debuts
Called Allusionz, it looks like a nice wrapper and introduction for Syntagma’s art and philosophy blogs. Certainly, the design, courtesy of our own Thord, looks much less garishly psychedelic than what previously graced many Syntagma related blogs — and in fact, looks pretty good.
The four-post block to left, will be chosen regularly by an editor (currently your truly), and there’€™s a feed from the whole magazine to the right. Graphical links to each section of the magazine ‘€” represented by standalone websites ‘€” are shown below the posts.
The design looks like it will also be used in at least two of their blogs — er, magazines. John continues: “The template will be used for our other two network magazines : 21st-century Phi (Sciences and Future Technologies) and LifeTimes (Lifestyles and Celebrities) which will be live very soon.”
Thanks, Tony. Sure, Thord did a great job, and we’re all very pleased with it.
It still needs a few features and a tweak or two. We’ll take onboard what others say before making final decisions.
Here’s where I weigh in.
I’m actually impressed. Good call going with Thord. He’s an upright guy.
far better than i was expecting – now we’ll see where it goes

Grudgingly generous, Matt. I’m flabbergasted :-)
Where it goes? Two more mags to launch soon, and maybe another in January. The backend infrastructure will change organically to match that but won’t be very visible. That’s quite a lot to do over the next three months.
We’re also chasing one of the top people in the industry … but that’s a long shot.
Hmmm, I could only guess who that could be. Chasing people is loads of fun Evans.
If you ever chased me Id run you over with a brick truck.
I grant you safe passage, Cowpoke. ;-)
