We do love a Melbourne Magazine, even better when the magazine is both printed and online..<\/p>\n

Enter\u00a0the (melbourne) magazine<\/strong><\/p>\n

the (melbourne) magazine has appeared monthly in TheAge for a few years now, usually around the end of the month which we would read on our iPad. \u00a0So, we were delighted to spot it is now available online on their own web site:\u00a0www.themelbournemag.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Firstly, go and sign up for the monthly reminder.. its free!<\/p>\n

Looking closer, it looks like the web site has been there for a while but somehow we missed it. \u00a0In terms of software, they use a\u00a0WordPress<\/a>\u00a0back-end which makes for a very easy to navigate and good looking web site.<\/p>\n

It is not the entire magazine found in the printed or iPad versions missing the ‘featured’ articles like this months, Why We Love Winter (which Melburnian’s do) but all the regulars are there..\u00a0OUR CITY, EAT\/DRINK, FASHION, HOMES, FITNESS, COMPETITION.<\/p>\n

Funnily enough, this morning the web site has not been updated to include this months articles.. i spy – Whisky Business but we’re sure they will update it shortly and let us know. \u00a0We did miss other regular contributors.. Ian Rose and his Tree Change, Marieke Hardy’s My Melbourne (which is never written in Melbourne), and most definitely the(melbourne)quiz (always a good read).<\/p>\n

Look, we’re biased, we really enjoy reading the printed\/ipad version which is clearly written in Melbourne, by Melburnian’s for Melburnians. \u00a0The web version isn’t all of it but its a damn good teaser and a good reason why you should sign up for the paid iPad App<\/a> version of TheAge.<\/p>\n

\"comp\"I know a place<\/h2>\n
