Ok, so do you see the cover? With Mario looking out at you? If so, hover your mouse near the bottom right corner of that image. You should see a little 'page corner' image pop up. Click it and it should flip over to page two.

OR

Click on any of the little circles under the magazine. Each represents a page and will open up the magazine to that page (and it also provides you with a preview).

I hope that helps. If it didn't, let me know.

and double clicking on the page will blow it up to fullscreen. u can also use the + and - key to zoom in and out(or a mouse wheel). use the arrows on the toolbar to flip the blown up pages.

There it is! Full screen lets me see it. My monitor is set pretty high, makes things a tad small.

So just how hurtful could you be if that was your intent?

I also noticed another issue. My old boss so rudely put it like this. "The problem with publishing is smart people have to learn how to write for dumb people." Most people read at a 4th or 5th grade reading level. I saw words that wouldn't be used in the Wall Street Journal. I, myself, went to dictionary.com on two occasions to double check the definition. No one wants to read with a dictionary and no one wants to feel stupid because they can't read a regular magazine without one. I actually saw the word anachronistic used. Its definition describes it own position in the English language. If we used that type of language in our publication we would lose subscriptions. The sesquipedalian needs to put away the Thersaurus. lol

Sorry if that seems hurtful. It was not my intent.
