Welcome to our new
format and Website

We hope that you enjoyed the first issue of LORE in our new, larger format. It’s designed to be easier to read and to lay open nicely on your lap so you can enjoy it like a good book. We’d like to hear your feedback, so send your comments or suggestions to anne@loremagazine.com. We also welcome your story ideas.

This month, we’re introducing you to our new Website. Like the magazine, it has a larger format that automatically fills your screen, allowing you to enjoy our terrific stories and photography even more. We also have added a special section called “Friends of LORE.” These are the advertisers we consider friends and supporters because they make it possible to provide our magazine free of charge to our subscribers. Advertisers each have a full page to talk about what they do and how it can improve your business, with active links to their Web sites for further information. In true LORE fashion, we soon will feature a photo and background on an important contact in each advertiser’s organization so you can get to know him or her personally.

Our fascinating industry has so many great stories that we can’t possibly cover them all in our magazine. We’ve created a blog on the LORE Website to post additional stories, and we’re inviting you to post your story or comments under a variety of concepts. The first concept is “My Favorite Client.” Go to the blog and you’ll see Anne’s personal story about the purchase of her home in Colorado and her prescience in checking the MLS one more time before signing on the builder’s dotted line. Post your own interesting or humorous stories about clients, their needs, their unique styles and expectations. (Inappropriate postings will be removed.)

Go to www.loremagazine.com now and explore our new Web site! We have advertising opportunities on the site that maximize the advertiser’s exposure with only two spots per page. If you have an interest in advertising opportunities, please email Judy Medley.

More surprises are coming throughout the year, so stay connected!
