Or...
TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!
The SuperSite is a great resource, but it's not a magazine--it's an archive. We think SuperSite readers deserve a new monthly magazine complete with fresh content from the best writers around the world, including articles, how-tos, recipes, and so on, but we want to make sure we create the kind of digital magazine our readers will enjoy.
A digital magazine looks exactly like a print magazine but with enhanced features including embedded video, recipes for easy printing, and links to related subjects all over the web. It is delivered to subscribers via the Internet rather than USPS, and can be downloaded--it is compatible with mobile devices like iPhones, iPads, and Blackberries as well as your home computer.
A link to the new issue will be posted on the SuperSite home page the first of every month. Magazine content will be unique and not repeated on the SuperSite but rather retained in a back-issue archive. Subscribers can read or download any issue to their own devices, or print it out. We will notify subscribers by email when a new issue is posted. The estimated subscription price will be $36 for a 3-year subscription, $15 for a one-year subscription. That means you get the best new content about the hot and spicy/smoky universe delivered to your mobile device...it's easy, convenient, and costs as little as $1.00 per issue!
Please take our quick, two-minute survey to help us plan the magazine here.

I'm pleased and proud to announce that Emily DeWitt, who is my brother Rick's daughter, has been appointed as food editor of the SuperSite and ScovieAwards.com She is only our third food editor, following Nancy Gerlach, who retired and lives in Yucatán, and Gwyneth Doland, who went over to the darkside--politics. (She is editor of the New Mexican Independent, a political blog.) Emily's duties include developing recipes for both sites, posting recipes to the databases, styling food shots, and editing recipes supplied by freelancers. She will also assist me on stage when I do cooking demonstrations, and she's the co-producer of the Scovie Awards. Welcome aboard, Emily! Emily is married to Max Cisneros and they have three children: Andrew, Matthew, and Rachael.

The last time we conducted a survey of our readers and visitors was in November, 2004. Things were a lot different then--we had the old SuperSite and our options for improving it were limited. In September, 2008, we switched to the SuperSite you see now, with many ways to improve it. To that end, I have devised a survey that will give us a good idea of who our visitors are and what they are looking for. The survey is only 12 questions long and will take
less than five minutes to fill out. All questions are
optional. I have limited the number of responses to 500 so that we are not overwhelmed with information. At some point in time, we will publish the survey results. Thanks in advance for taking the survey, which is located
here.
