Thank you…
Hi folks,
We’re less than a week into the wonder that is Delish and I am SO pleased that our readers are LOVING what we have to offer.
This response is completely heartwarming and affirming. When I first came up with the small seed of an idea for something I wanted to…no, needed to start, I just knew there were women who were looking for it. I felt it in my bones.
Fact is, we’re a smart bunch, modern women. We ask for a lot. We don’t want to be pandered to. We want to keep in touch and on top of things — in our world, our community, and our homes. But sometimes we don’t have a chance to do that and mail and dishes and laundry piles up. Delish is here to say that’s okay.
Delish is also here to make it a bit easier on you. Here’s one cool way to enjoy the benefits of our e-magazine: one-click linking. How many times have you been reading a magazine and been compelled to go to a web site mentioned in its pages, but you’re nowhere near a computer? Or when you get to the computer, you can’t quite remember what that url was, and the magazine is on a bookshelf downstairs? It’s almost worth it that you can’t take your copy of Delish and snuggle up under a quilt on the couch to read it. (But we’re not stopping you from printing it if you want to do that!)
So with our first issue, I personally bared my body and soul, and I want to say thank you for the amazing feedback. You get what we are trying to do, dear readers, and it’s spurring us on to make Fall 2010 even better.
I need to thank some people, and I am sure that Emma and Cynthia will also want to write their own posts to do the same…of course, my husband and my son (and even my dog) deserve hugs (and a belly scratch) for being so patient when I said, “I just have to go finish an article” about…oh, a hundred times or so.
But I also want to send gratitude out to the people at Long Beach Magazine. I really had a chance to figure out that this was the kind of work that I wanted to do, when I worked there. I had a hand in each issue from October 2008 to February 2010 – starting out as Managing Editor and then taking over as Editor-in-Chief. That really was the best job I’ve ever had (’til now, of course!). I’d like to thank John and Michelle, Mark, Jeff, Christian and BreAnne, as well as all of my LBM writers and photographers.

I love this! I’ve only scratched the surface, but am already in love with this fabulous publication!
I have just one request… since I can’t take my computer to the bathroom, I will need to print it out… is there a way to make it so that when you go to print, it has the option to print ALL pages, instead of one at a time???
That would be super delish!
Hello Beth!

Hi gals!
Just wanted to drop in and say OH MY GOD! Well done – can you hear my clapping from here!?
I’m so very excited to see Delish manifest and have set aside some time tomorrow night to read through the whole thing!
My blog on Saturday at http://www.tracylydiatt.com will also promote Delish so just wanted to let you know! This goes out to my friends on Facebook and Twitter as well.
All my love from Perth,
Tracy
Hi Tracy!! Thank you so so so much for the support! I just tried to leave a comment on your blog post but it wouldn’t let me…
I am so pleased you like it!
Miss you, sweetie…

Just followed a link to your new mag from the communicatrix and congratulations! Your first issue is absolutely delish – looks delectable, great content and so easy to negotiate and jump to links straight away. I’m one of the women looking for this for sure and will spread the word.
Congrats from Sydney -
Terri
Hi Terri,
Thank you so much for the lovely compliments from Down Under! I love Sydney, and hope to be back some day soon…
We’re so pleased you love Delish! We put together the magazine thinking that most of the stories would appeal to an audience of women around the globe, so it’s particularly nice to hear from someone so far away from where we put Delish together. We will have, if she has time, a story from a friend of mine in Perth – her name is Tracy and she is the guru of green families!
Thank you again Terri, and please come back often as we’ll be regularly posting on our blog in between our quarterly Delish issues.
Tamara
