Turning LINE into a blog

LINE (www.linemag.org) is a design webzine, founded in 1998. It started off in print, and now it's being relaunched as a blog. The SF designer Jeremy Mende is developing the look and feel, with WordPress as the platform. Several of us involved with it met with Mende and his colleague this afternoon to review it. It's gorgeous. LINE currently has a magazine-like structure - a feature well and departments. The blog format invites us to let go of it, opting instead for themes and topics that accrue over time. What it will retain from the past versions is our ambition to make it really good. The blog format also makes it easier to broaden the net of contributors. LINE at its best has been a collaborative venture, and the blog format plays into that.
