getting ready for publishing
The last weeks before the 1 November.
We are finalizing everything; getting the advertising ready, creating a photo gallery online, revising the articles and translating them, calling clients and potential clients to make sure their changes of ads are correct, finishing our new classifieds section, selecting a photo from the photo contest for the next cover and much more.
It is fun and a lot of work at the same time because next to all these extra tasks we need to keep up with our daily tasks. The networks need to be updated, the clients need to be served and so on.
In not even one month high season will begin and all businesses will return to regular business which means the Revista can fill its agenda with many parties, activities and events.

next month
This month we decided not to publish.
This has a couple of reasons. First of all, it is the slowest month in the year. Almost no visitors are in Samara and many restaurants and hotel are closed for a couple of weeks.
This leads to a decrease of businesses who are interested in advertising with us. Therefore we decided to see this extra time as our opportunity to improve the next issue.
Now we have the time to make the long awaited map of Nosara and Samara, we can finish our new classifieds section, we can make sure all articles are ready and of high quality and we can take some more time for the layout.
We are very excited how all the new projects are going to work out.
Me and my co-workers are busy taking pictures of Nosara, Samara and Carrillo to create an online photo gallery.
Furthermore I have been trying to gather information which might be interesting for visitors. My findings will be posted online and in the new issue of Del Sol.
The new publishing date is 1 November 2009
Until then I will keep you updated!
keep checking!

some changes (in and outside the magazine)
Coming back on Monday a nice surprise awaited me.
Tyrone had finished some of the remodeling of the office and I like it. Now it looks like a office of a magazine and you are able to see lots of issues that have been published right on the wall.
The office looks friendly and professional.
Right in the morning a client stopped by to talk about his book cover and how it should be designed, changed etc.
This is part of Graphic Jam SA ( www.graphicjamsa.com ), the graphic departement of Revista Del Sol, covering advertisement, posters, flyers, t-shirts and more.
As we are finishing the next issue of Revista Del Sol which will be published in only 2 weeks, we hired another girl to support us with the advertisement sections of the magazine.
She will talk to potential clients and make sure the magazine has enough but not too many ads in it.
For example, a lady from a local B&B came by today to discuss her advertisement in the paper, how big it should be, what it should look like and what it should contain.
Concerning the hiring process of a graphic designer I am making progress. I got a couple of applications and they all sound really great. I hope someone can start soon. We want to change the homepage and we need support and knowledge to do this.
I will keep you posted on the developments.

work work work
It is harder than I thought to find suitable people for the company.
I have been posting adds for a week now and I really hoped I would find someone by the end of this week. We really could need some support, some help for me, but especially someone how does the graphic design. I am, unfortunately, not talented enough.
This and last week I have been updating our local businesses list ( http://www.revistadelsol.com/mainCategory.aspx ) It is a lot of work but definitely worth it.
And as soon as the list is complete I want the businesses to advertise with us. The magazine is a really great product, the only problem about it is, that no one knows about it. But he, that is what I am here for.A lot of talking and changing and researching needs to be done but I am very confident that by the time I will leave beautiful Costa Rica we will be getting close.
Today is independence day in Costa Rica.
Everyone is celebrating and having a good time.
This morning the students made a great parade through the cities and towns all over Costa Rica, played music, danced and had a good time.
It is great to see and I hope there is still something going on when I am done working today.

checking out samara
This week i will dedicate to discovering Samara.
I want to create a list of all businesses that are located in Samara Beach.
First of all for our directory on the homepage but also for me. The more you know the more you have to choose from.
The list will make it possible for people who want to visit Samara (and the other beaches of course but this list has to wait to be created a week or two) to get to know the town before they come here and make plans based on the information they can get on our homepage.
I also want to create a review section where visitors who have been here can share their experiences and opinions about certain bars, hotels, schools etc.
I'll get back to work now.
