Brilliant Software to Give you the reader a better experience

I have just staretd to use a program called PDF Flip, this turns a PDF into a fancy flip style book so that when the first edition comes out you can read it like a proper magazine.

This company also has so many great pieces of software that I'll be using them again.

When it comes to PDF's, they are the kings.
I

Not only that you can add it to your smart phones and tablets and again read it like a book.

Superb software available, give it a try yourself at http://www.a-pdf.com/index.htm

Flip PDF means that the I have got a copy of the new magazine ( well a bit of it anyway.) on my Galaxy S 2 smart phone, I also have the necessary files to make an iPhone/iPad version. It is also on my Android tablet. The software did this all by importing the PDF. Amazing stuff, I am well impressed. Going to spread the word to my media colleagues at Silverstone this weekend.

Don't forget the first issue you available 15th July.

New Website and Potential Downtime


This weekend the hosting of www.myformulaone.com will trasfer to a different server. 

This means for a period of time when you type in www.myformulaone.com, nothing will happen as the new website is uploaded.

You will still be able to access this blog via the address http://f1newsandreview.blogspot.co.uk/ and the home page of the new website will have a link to it, as archive material.

I really hope you enjoy the new website and would also ask for your invaluable feedback in the first week or so as I am sure there are going to be some errors, as does happen.

It's been a busy week, and the fruits of my labour are about to happen. Excitement reigns as shares in the new company start to sell and the first edition of the e-magazine 'The Podium' hits the virtual shelves within weeks.

Thank you for all your support. I'd like to pay particluar thanks to Caterham and Tom Webb who have helped so much, and have given so much advice along the way.

Enjoy the new website, which should be live no later than Monday 21st May.

The New Magazine Website to be Launched this Week

During the coming week we will be launching our new website on a new server.

The new website will link to this site so you will still have access to the archive material.

The most important thing from your perspective is that the new website will stay on the address www.myformulaone.com it will focus on the brand new magazine, The Podium

The Podium, will contain exclusive interviews, opinions, reviews and previews. it will also contain news from other motor sports. In issue one we will look at karting and run a competition giving you the chance to win a karting session for yourself.

I'm not going to give anymore away as the new website will have all the information you need.

Finally, thank you for more than 35000 downloads of the 2012 season preview magazine, which has inspired the new monthly magazine. First edition coming soon.

Share Issue For My Formula One Limited has

Due to the huge success of the 2012 season preview e-magazine a limited company has been set up to raise a small amount of funding to employ the expertese needed to make 'The Podium` a leading motor sport magazine.

Just 3000 shares will be available with an initial value of £1 each. As there is potential multi million pound buyer already showing an interest in 11 months time, your £1 could be worth a lot more.

How Is My Formula One Changing?

Since it's inception in January 2012, My Formula One has been a news portal for everything to do with the sport. Then in February a decision was made to release a 2012 season Preview. The hope was that it may supplement the website and help to promote it. This is when everything changed.

It was perceived that 100 downloads would be a success, then when that number reached 1000, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. By the end of the seven days the numbers had risen to more than 13,000 downloads. To put that into context, the readership of AutoSport magazine is just a few hundred more.

So I am now faced with a decision, do I continue to use the website as a portal for news, or do I use it as a promotional tool for the new magazine 'My Formula One'?

The decision will not please some but will please others. I have decided to use the website as a portal to promote the magazine. There won't be any full articles, interviews and race reports on the website. Instead that will be reserved for the magazine.

The website will still have teasers and competitions. The Twitter feed @F1news2012 will still be active with pupdates and when and where you'll be able to get your copy.

THE BESY NEWS KEPT UNTIL THE END - IT'S FREE!!
