Under cover

Matthew Bacon tries to explain why this issue had three different covers

If you have been a regular visitor to our site this month, you have probably noticed that the cover of the current issue changed several times.

Why?

Well, each month, the MyAtari editorial team discuss ideas for the forthcoming issue. From these initial ideas, a cover is designed to be both visually appealing and represent one or more of the articles inside the issue. Now because the contents of the current issue of MyAtari changes as articles are received (we have no editorial deadlines as our contributors have lives to lead!), the focus of the issue can sometimes change.

For instance, in this issue the initial topic was to be "Building web sites on you Atari", hence the Lego bricks and the "HTML is fun ;-)" banner. A week or so later, the HTML tutorial series was added to the issue and the cover was adapted to represent this ("Our guide to building a homepage!"). The final change occurred when the article "How to become a dotcom millionaire" was added to the issue and the cover was changed to a tongue-in-cheek version based on the fabulous television show Who Wants to be a Millionaire? by Celador.

So there you are... I hope this has cleared up any confusion. We'll try to behave ourselves next month ;-)
