Upcoming articles and changes

Wrinkly Brain is in transition at the moment and there might be a bit of a lag between articles and interviews. We have a lot of material to go through. We are in the process of redesigning the Unseen Eye into more of a webzine with a handy page flipper that is much more user friendly. If you haven't noticed we are also starting to advertise with a couple of sponsors. We are trying to bring in some revenue for the amount of time spent on design and gathering information, which is considerable. If you want to help us out go to the books section of Wrinkly Brain and use the Amazon search bar to do your book shopping. We get paid that way. So far we have earned $1.50. If you are a web master and you are interested in working with us let us know. At first it was a difficult decision to put advertising on the site because of the underground nature of Wrinkly Brain. However, due to the fact that it takes money to eat and pay rent we decided we better do something. We are researching grant money at the moment as another possible source.
Writing

Wrinkly Brain is also starting a new section dedicated to short stories and writers. We are getting submissions already and it is just a matter of time before we have that up and running. We are interested in getting artists to illustrate for the writers so we have a nice collaboration. This is in the works at the moment but if you are interested in submitting your writing or illustrations send us an email and we will try to pair you up. As far as payment is concerned we grow together. We have no money at the moment but as we grow as a cooperative the money will come. Right now your work is only accredited.
Technical

Make sure to get a web browser that supports feeds or Atom. We suggest Mozilla Firefox. It is a very nice web browser that allows you to personalize a lot of the settings. A feed is what most of the online news websites use to keep you updated on current changes. You can bookmark a website that has a feed and it will update itself so when you click it you will see new information. This is a nutshell explanation. You can google it if you want to know more about it. We are trying to make our site more user friendly so we get more collaboration and make Wrinkly Brain more of a cooperative.
Thank you for your help and support.

Please suggest

We are trying to get feedback on the interviews and articles that we are putting together. This is our objective. When we talk to people in person they have a lot of interesting things to say in response to the material but they end up not posting them. We are trying to get the website more user friendly and easier to find and post your responces. If you have any suggestions (creative linking,site feeds, etc.) let us know.
For all of you that do send in your comments, thank you and keep it up.
