Good point......cos the ideal method to do this....would be to create your own blog site in order to do this.

And just to give you some idea of how many people want to do that.....we opened a free blog site feature at the Wambank 3 years ago, where folks can create their own blogs and host their own pics and videos on our server....and guess how many people were interested in doing that....i.e. ZERO...not one person from this community has shown any interest in creating a blog site....except for Soakfan...he is the only one interested in making an ongong wetlook blog site....and so I would suggest you encourage soakfan to develop his blog site a little more...cos currently it is just photos and clips and very little text articles.....so perhaps he can expand his blog to include more stories and articles....and that will be the best thing you can hope for.

Makes no sense...

Take a look around. With the proliferation of online choices, even mainstream newspapers are in a struggle for their continued existence. Why would you want to create an online pdf newsletter - if you have a good idea for content, just put it on a website, or a blog, or a Facebook page, or... any of the other online choices available these days.

FYI this has been tried many times over the last 20 years....and could never been sustained for long. In the 1980's you had the Wetlook Newsletter that was created and then in the 1990;s you had Splosh magazine published by Bill Shipton, and then David Wilkey of Artscene has his Wetlook magazine and then Rob Blaine of Messy Fun had a great newletter/magazine and then Wetfan and Scott took over as later editors and publishers of the Wetlook Newsletter in the 1990's too. All of these efforts fell by the wayside within a few years....because of lack of support from the fans and the huge amount it work it takes a managing editor to put everything together etc.

I do not have the time to do this myself, but if somebody wants to create an online PDF newspaper I will offer to host it on my server and I will also contribute lots of free media for it too. I am sure that many other producers and photographers will agree to contribute media too....thats not the problem. The real issue is the time it takes to be a managing editor for a such a newsletter....so it really needs to be managed by somebody who is not a producer themselves.....cos anybody who is a producer will be too busy doing their own shoots and editing, and not have the time for this...and if a producer manages this newsletter....people will claim that the newsletter is biased and self promoting that producers own work of his friends works etc.....so it will not have credibility unless it is managed by somebody who has lots of time on their hands and has no ties to any commercial wetlook entities.

Personally....I would not want to read a newspaper that is written by another producer...cos that will be propoganda and self-promoting their own media or their friends media etc. I would rather read a wetlook newsapaper written by a person that has no ties to the commercial wetlook industry....which is why I would exclude myself too. But I will provide hosting space for it if they need a hosting area,

Maybe make a Wetlook newspaper?

What you think about making a wetlook newspaper for free downloading?

A newspaper in PDF with many pics, ideas for clothing and places for swim and shower with clothes.

Anyone here who is good at making magazines in PDF format that may have been like to try?

Maybe Erik Elsa's or someone can sponsor with good pictures of this.

What do you think about giving out a number every month?

Do you think the magazine is good, you can donate some money to it or those who make this newspaper.
