New Digital Format for Home Educator's Family Times


Home Educator''s Family Times Aug/Sept 2011

Hello there,

I am posting this to notify people who might have
requested that Home Educator's Family Times be mailed
to them. Due to rising costs, we have ceased printing
and mailing the newspaper. After 25 years, this was
a very difficult decision to make. However, we have
had an increasing number of families asking for only
our 'online' edition or just wanting the online newsletters.
Note: the newsletters are completely different and
separate from the main publication.

These requests helped us to make the decision to join
the 21st century and move into a completely digital/online
format. Besides cost effectiveness, there are many other
advantages. We can change the size of the publication into
a 8.5 X 11 inch magazine format and can easily increase
the size or content. Every page can be 4-color.
Every advertisement, resource and many links within the
articles can be made 'clickable' so readers can go directly
to external web sites for more information. Additionally,
readers can easily share the publication or certain pages
with their social media or blog page, or email it to friends.
Although you won't have extra newspaper to use around
the house for craft projects, we think these benefits far
outweigh any negatives.

For the time being, we will still be offering the publication
free to all who request it. It is also available as a PDF either
from the digital version or from our web site:

Here is the direct link to the digital version. Please let others
know and pass it on to friends. That is much appreciated and
a great help toward keeping Home Educator's Family Times
in publication.
