Howdy fanzine digitization fans!

After a couple of weeks’ interruption, I’ve finally been getting some things done on the project again. Over the past week I’ve:

• massaged the content (aka Geek Weekly #1) a little — merging PDFs and other boring detail stuff which I need to do before giving the green light for the transcription software bit to happen (I’m being vague because I have no idea what happens next)
• solicited some technical advice from various folks and thinking about how to begin in ways that won’t hamper the project as it scales up later on
• decided to merge this blog into a hosted website, so it can live in the same place as the digitized content
• bought hosting, explored options for building a website, and decided to keep rolling with WordPress, and started building the site

I’ll holler when the website goes live… [UPDATE]

In related news: Also born in 1994 (and beating Geek Weekly to the punch by a mere two seasons), Monk Mink Pink Punk is a fanzine still being created and distributed by musician/artist/writer Josh Ronsen of Austin, Texas. Mr. Ronsen recently recently digitized and placed online issue 1 of MMPP.
