as someone who’s seen the working side of several magazines over the past few years, i can tell you from experience, it takes a while to make any sort of major changes to a site or a magazine.

both are owned by a larger parent corporation and those sorts of changes aren’t made without getting through a lot (and i mean A LOT) of red tape.

so if craft says they’re changing the website, i’m sure they’re already hard at work on it.

also, i’d be surprised to find out that make: television got “all” of their money and time- both magazines are served by the same staff so i doubt they quit working on one to focus on the other- if that was true, the other one quite simply wouldn’t have been made.

magazines like this are run by a small number of people compared to publications like domino or house beautiful, so sometimes you need to cut them a little slack when it comes to making changes- big transformations take time.

as far as i know, the website will remain free so if you don’t feel it’s up to par with the magazine, then you definitely don’t have to read it or pay for it.

Too bad they decided to spend all their time and money on Make: television instead of supporting Craft. The claim that they’re going to “improve” the web site is bogus. If they were going to do it, they would have already done it. I’m not interested in what they say they will do — I’m interested in what they actually have done. And at this point, they’ve done nothing to make the site anything more than a pale adjunct to a fine magazine. Sigh.
