The irony is amusing, but it's not the full story. Blogger &amp; Podcaster (<a href="http://www.bloggerandpodcaster.com" rel="nofollow">www.bloggerandpodcaster.com</a>) is also published in digital and podcast formats. The first magazine in history to launch in 3 distinct formats. <br><br>- Larry<br>Publisher<br>Blogger &amp; Podcaster MagazineLarry GenkinMon, 30 Apr 2007 08:16:49 -0000http://marketingfit.disqus.com/my_industry8217s_first_magazine_falls_short_of_being_inclusive/#comment-13647725Leesa, as Blogger &amp; Podcaster's publisher I want you to know I hear and appreciate your (and Karin's) criticism.

You will need to cancel if you don't wish to continue after the first month, however we make it very simple to do (web and phone) if you don't wish to continue after the first month. Hopefully the value of the program is such that many can test this for a little while without breaking the bank. <br><br>Larry Genkin<br>Publisher<br>Blogger &amp; Podcaster Magazine<br><a href="http://www.bloggerandpodcaster.com" rel="nofollow">www.bloggerandpodcaster.com</a>Larry GenkinMon, 05 Nov 2007 08:40:01 -0000http://wiredprworks.disqus.com/usa_today_gives_bloggers_free_ads_124_how_to_get_yours/#comment-18566812Barbara, glad you like the changes to the guide. We're working really hard to try and make it easy for mainstream America to find blog/podcast content. In answer to your question about ratings -- any registered user can rate a blog or podcast according to our "5 Star" system. Also they can leave comments. We'll be adding functionality shortly that will allow users to sort on the basis of: Rating, Alphabetical and Newest. I'd love to hear any suggestions to as to what we can do to improve The Blogger &amp; Podcaster Guide. Email me at lgenkin[at]larstan[dot]net.
