How to … make your own Open-Source magazine site
Our magazine regularly features a How To section which details projects that one person can do in the IT field. Much of the rest of our magazine is related to big picture topics such as display industry growth for the third quarter of 2008 and other high-end topics, so these How To articles bring the focus back down to the individual. And, actually, one of the reasons that I like the IT field so much is that it brings so much power to the fingertips of the individual.
And, if you are an individual looking to set up a magazine site similar to www.koreaittimes.com, just look in this month’s issue for instructions on how to do it! Or, if you’d rather do it online, you can read this article for a week early preview.
How to Set Up Your Own Open Source Magazine Web Site
As you may have read or seen already, the Korea IT Times has a new web site at www.koreaittimes.com. It was all created using free, open source software that is readily available for anyone to use. The software is called Drupal. If you or someone you know would also be interested in starting up a magazine or newspaper-based web site, just follow this guide to get yourself started.
New Web site features
Our new web site is not anything revolutionary in the era of online news, but rather just bringing our outdated previous web site to a respectable standard of Web 2.0 techniques. We are still proud to be a latecomer into the ranks of acccessible, socialiable online news.
My major aims in making the web site were to make the work of the dedicated reporters here at the magazine accessible to a larger audience (that includes my own I must admit) and to develop a community of people who are interested in online news about the Korean IT industry. Quite frankly I find the whole subject fascinating and I really want to discuss it with other interested people rather than boring my friends at parties.
So, here is a draft of the article we will run in this month’s magazine detailing the major new features of the web site at www.koreaittimes.com.
Comments and Social Bookmarks and Archives, Oh My!
