OK so, were gonna start up this whole Pittspeed Newsletter thing again, because First its a great idea. Second why not add to the “billion other things we have to do list”. Third if you never heard or seen the newsletter check out the links below, “its like a monthly pittspeed magazine kinda deal”
This is what im looking for. People that can actually write, with good grammar spell etc etc. That can come up with some good topics to actually write about.(I was in the running but i think we all know the answer to that) For some examples, check out are issues from last year: http://www.pittspeed.com/newsletters/2005Review/ http://www.pittspeed.com/newsletters/Jan_Feb/
^sailors soapbox hopefully get another installment of this also.
I would like to get this going and stick with it this season. Just need some people to write some stuff up! ALSO, suggestions for the newsletter would be greatly appreciated! This is made for you people, so lets hear it.
Maybe will have a section called “Ask Pewter” :bigthumb:
What happened last year (overview, pinks etc etc)
Upcoming events
What were going to be covering this year
BBQ - DYNO Day
^i think me an whitey got all that on lock
despite my lack of proper English usage on pittspeed i’m rather good at writing…it’s something i do when i have nothing to do(all the time). But what topic would people want to write/read about
your a good douchebag!!!:bowrofl: :weak: :slap: i took a look at the first post by him and replied…didn’t bother reading further for fear that some of your “i’m a douche” might plague my eyesight
back on topic: I re-read the issues you posted starboy, and I like the idea of a regular opinion / editorial page like sailors soapbox. Maybe in addition, whitey could throw something up from the front office, kind of like they do in magazines when they have the editor write a couple paragraphs on what is going to be in the issue.
I don’t know if there is a place to do a Q&A or something to? Maybe just hunt for a couple of the more interesting posts from the previous month, and use those for material? Don’t know if any of that makes sense, just trying to think what would be seen in a magazine.
Like hybrids. The ongoing debate as to whether or not they are actually good for the environment?
Who is the audience of this newsletter? I think that is the most important question. If you are writing to mechanics, and people who aren’t at a doctorate level, then you probably want to stick with an 8th-grade reading level as opposed to a 12-grade reading level.
