So I opened up the site. Hope everyone is okay.

In addition to adjusting my life along with everyone else, I've been working, slowly, on a digital version of my old (80s) little magazine, Clock Radio. Let me know what you think of the design. Been plugging away at it for a few weeks. These designs are not easy when you're not a developer and you're trying to wrestle with pre-made software.

Greetings, Jay! So glad to see OAF up and running again.

Clock Radio is gorgeous. Congrats on the old/new venue. (Cool name, too.)

Thank you. I need to give thanks to @Daniel J. Flore III, @Jenn Zed, and @Lance Jencks for giving me their opinions about various site-related issues. I finally found a theme that lets me put author names up top, which is how things are typically done in literary journals, so I was inspired to see what I could put together.

Made me realize how much work went into this site to get it to this point. Holy cow--you gotta be young(er) to do this stuff.

It's been great posting on your boards again Jay. Sorry you're having trouble with design. I appreciate the effort you make on all your sites and I sincerely hope it is not too much stress on you.

Yes, it is. My idea was to be as selective as I can about what's featured, publish some of the material in the back issues, and also publish an annual paper (or on-demand) volume--Clock Radio 2020, 2021, etc.--that would become an extension of the old little mag.

Sure. I'm not picky about reprints, so long as the author/artist has reprint rights.

Hi Jay and everyone, hope everyone is doing well. Jay, Clock Radio looks great, nice and clean. One note: on my Mac, the "I'll Get You into A Millionaire's Pool Party" is flush pretty far left, almost off the margin. Maybe it's just my computer. Looking forward to reading the pieces posted there, and here too:).

Thanks. Yes, that issue was on my radar. Easy fix.
