Since 1994, the text of all Militant articles has been available on line via a "gopher" site on the internet. The new website will be a substantial improvement visually over this format.

As a start, the site will feature the current issue as well as information on how to subscribe and contact local distributors of the Militant. An "About this site" page will explain the next steps under way in constructing the site. This including making the Militant archive back to 1994 available through the website.

We encourage our readers to visit the site and make suggestions, both technical and esthetic, on how to improve it.

Below is a letter recently received from a reader in Sweden.  
 

I think it is a good idea to publicize the Militant on the Web. The Pathfinder bookshop in Stockholm has been on the web a couple of years already (http://www.algonet.se/~pathfbkh). We have had about 3,000 visits.

We didn't make any "frames" and very little graphics. We had about the same thinking you have in the Militant article in issue no. 31 [to keep it simple for older computers and browsers]. But nowadays everyone in Sweden has the MS Explorer or Netscape free. So it is not a problem with frames anymore here. When the frames started some webs were made in both ways. It is rather easy to do.

Personally I think a small frame to the left or above makes it very much easier to find your way between the different sides in the website. To go DIRECT to the side you want to look at. I hope we will have time to remake our site in frames soon.

Well, anyway I wish you good luck.
