Nice avatar.

Go here. (http://www.sba.gov/)

These days, with the huge number of tools available for publishing your own stuff on-line, it should not be too hard to get started.

Oh, and it's spelled "business".

Good luck.

Spelled is spelt "spelt".

Spelt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelt)is a hexaploid species of wheat.

Nah, it's the correct way to spell spelt.

start by writing up everything you already know about the magazine you want to publish and the publishing business itself.

what kind of articles, who you would get to write, what kind of photos, what kind of advertising. what would make it different from all the fashion magazines that already exist.

how you will get enough money to get it started. how you will pay your staff. how you will get it distributed. what you will charge for each issue. what you will charge for advertising.

this will help you figure out of you have a chance to make a success of it (hint: if it doesnt work out "on paper" it doesnt have a chance) more importantly, it will let you know what areas you need to work on before you move forward.

Nah, it's the correct way to spell spelt.

Maybe in Kent. By the way, have you lot stopped painting yourselves blue? :tongue:

What's the use of wearing braces?
Vests and pants and boots with laces?
Spats and hats you buy in places
Down the Brompton Road?

What's the use of shirts of cotton?
Studs that always get forgotten?
These affairs are simply rotten,
Better far is woad.

Woad's the stuff to show men.
Woad to scare your foemen.
Boil it to a brilliant hue
And rub it on your back and your abdomen.

Ancient Briton ne'er did hit on
Anything as good as woad to fit on
Neck or knees or where you sit on.
Tailors you be blowed!!

Romans came across the channel
All wrapped up in tin and flannel
Half a pint of woad per man'll
Dress us more than these.

Saxons you can waste your stitches
Building beds for bugs in breeches
We have woad to clothe us which is
Not a nest for fleas.

Romans keep your armours.
Saxons your pyjamas.
Hairy coats were made for goats,
Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas.

Tramp up Snowdon with your woad on,
Never mind if you get rained or blowed on.
Never want a button sewed on.
Go it Ancient B's!!

What did you mean about blue?

What did you mean about blue?

Does Kentian mean Ohio?

Does Kentian mean Ohio?

Why would I know?

What did you mean about blue?

I was teasing you. You're from Kent, right, in the UK not Ohio, so I made a jesting reference to the fashion ancient Britons had for painting themselves blue when going into battle. Caesar refers to this when he describes his visits to the Dover coast in the 50s BC.

While Barringtonia was posting that delightful bit of verse, I was trying to find out just what it was they painted themselves with and there seems to be a bit of controversy about whether it was woad or something else.

So ... truce?

Why would I know?

I suspect Farnhamia Redux's explanation will answer the query.

As a fellow child of Kent, I fart in the face of your feeble truce offer. It'll be you feeling blue as our triumphant forces burn down your settlements.

Your remarks have irreversibly set us on the woad to war :p

Who was looking for a war? And I have seen them here, which is why I'm not looking for one.

How irritating. Why should posters get a place on the top page of NSG with their very first post, to make a silly joke like this thread is?

What part are ya from?

A remote part of a small village a few miles outside the county town of Kent. I'd rather not be more specific, in case my legions of adoring fans find out my location and gather outside my house during the holidays when I return back to the mothership from Uni :p

Ah, I see.

Invicta.

I'm ashamed that I had to look that word up, especially considering that I'm now a history student...well, that explains why one of the local secondary schools and the (AWFUL) local radio station is called that. Knowledge is power. So I probably just levelled up or something :)

Well, can ya tell me if you're a Man of Kent or a Kentish Man?

That's awful, how did you not know what Invicta meant?

Well, can ya tell me if you're a Man of Kent or a Kentish Man?

Or possibly she's a Kentish woman?

Or possibly she's a Kentish woman?

Meh, it's the termanology. I didn't make it up.

I don't think there's a single accepted generic term, to be honest. Kentish sounds ok, but the first one sounds a bit odd and perhaps pretentious? But then, Kentish Woman sounds a bit odd. In conclusion, don't know.

Don't be silly. The only things I learnt from school were the things included in the CGP revision guides.

You call yourself kentish, and yet you know not what side of the river you were born on!?

lol, they used those in the stone age?

Spelt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelt)is a hexaploid species of wheat.

It's also the English way of spelling "spelled". Like color and colour etc.

*Nods, and backs away, having absolutely no idea what you are on about*

EDIT: Ah, no I do get it. I just looked it up, never heard it before.

lol, they used those in the stone age?

Yes. Genuine historical fact: many cave drawings were originally designed to allow kids to revise for the Hunter-gatherer GCSE (on the Ugexcel exam board). Unfortunately, the bad jokes at the bottom of each drawing seem to have been washed away.

Yeah, I gathered as much. ;)

You know...I'm looking at that, and I can't work it out. Epic Geography fail. Then again, I did until last year think that London was to the south of Maidstone; does this tell you all that needs knowing about my sense of direction?:$

:eek: Ya don't know where you were born? Maidstone? Ashford? Tonbridge? Canterbury?

I didn't realise that London was also known as Atlantis.

I live in Loose...any idea which side that is? Being dyspraxic, someone attempting to ask me questions of basic geography tends to make my brain hurt.

It isn't. Only a few bits of London are underwater, and thats in the poorer parts where people have left taps on in sink estates. Actually, thats an excellent idea. Wash the underclass down a plughole. Social problems solved :)

I think you're a Man of Kent.


Hmmm, dyspraxia's a bitch. That's partly why my hand writings so bad.

Is "dyspraxic" something like being unable to be a prat? And isn't that a good thing? ;)

And can you actually wash the Great Unwashed anywhere? I agree, it certainly would save a great deal of money and free up a lot of space in the cities.

What are you on about? Dyspraxia doesn't affect Geography.

But what about Bristol, Manchester, the whole of Scotland and Northern Ireland? You haven't thought this through.

From Dyspraxia Foundation's (http://www.dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/services/ad_symptoms.php) list of symptoms

"Inadequate sense of direction. Difficulty distinguishing right from left means map reading skills are poor"

There was a map. I had trouble understanding it, and with working out where I live is located relative to other things, due to a poor sense of direction. Seems relevant.

I hate it, I'm dyspraxic dyslexic and I've got asperger syndrome. It's not fair.

Everyone on the internet has Asperger's syndrome. It's also interesting how those 3 often tie in. Everyone I know/knew with Asperger's has dyspraxia, and some had dyslexia, and some of the kids at my dyspraxia support group also had dyslexia.

Really? I'm really good at map reading.

Well, its not as if everyone who is dyspraxix matches all the symptoms.

But, yes, I can't read them at all. Early in secondary school we had a bunch of tests measuring our strengths and weaknesses across a variety of areas (for setting targets for different subjects, I think). There was a bit about map reading. Average score being 100, I got 40. Me and maps, we aren't good friends.

Have scientists worked out yet why the three conditions are so linked. This matches trends that I have noticed too. I should really find an adult dyspraxic support group. When I was younger I concentrated on the clumsiness side of things, but when I look at the list of symptoms there's a whole bunch of other stuff there that is true for me which I need to work on from the view of getting future employment. But anyway, I get extra time in my exams, I get to use a computer in my exams, and I got a free computer for university, so its not all bad :)

When I was getting statemented for dyspraxia at the age of 14, I was apparently in the bottom 1% for handwriting, and I had the dextrosity of a 7 year-old. Good times. Did you ever get the witty and hilarious dys-SPAK-sia joke, by the way?

Hmm, I've known people with a combination of the three. Having on the internet is a drain cos it's even harder to sense someones tone.

No I never got that. During PE I did get the more subtle, yet equally witty, "learn to catch, retard". Which was nice. When we were made to do tennis was the worst though. In that we'd play for an hour and I'd manage to actually hit the ball about four times, all of them out. PE should be banned.

I've gotten worse and worse at sports as I've got older. 'Cos I've got taller it it's even hard for my brain to tell my limbs to do.

I actually find it easier on NSG than in real life. But then I don't have Asperger's really, just tendencies.

Take up a martial art. It really helps.

Well, I find it hard to read peoples faces and the tones of their voices, but it's much harder whaen you've got niether to go on.

But, I suppose it's easier cos you don't have to answer in 2 seconds.

What I liked about P.E. was when it came to athletics I'd really surprise everyone. They'd spent months watching me phail painfully, and they'd all forgotten I'm actually pretty fit, so it'd come to a race and I'd sail past the cocky dicks who could kick a piece of leather into a net. Good times.

I've got a mate and whenever he got stressed or something he'd have panic attacks and have to use his inhaler and he grew ouit of it. He still can't run though cos he's fat,lol.

You know you said that you have bad dexterity? Dud you find that martial artrs helped you with that? Cos I did.

It's not dexterity martial arts helps with, because that's fine motor skills, however it's helped me with gross motor skills.

Not a black belt, but very, very close. I ain't done it in years though, I want to get back into it. But, unfortunatly I can't bring myself to.

Lazy shit. Why not?

Not lazy. I can't go into a room full of people I don't know, I dunno why, apparently it's something to do with my asperges. And I especialy can't do it after I gave it.

Yeah, but even when I'd been going there for years, I still hated the thought of going. I had settled in, I had freinds and when I got there I enjoyed it allot. It's just the thought of going somewhere with allot of people.
