^Ah well, I'm sorry but the support was so great that all the pages got filled with wierd stuff from the cosmos like the Arctic Intensity Nano "niaaaaa" Laser Photon charged Nanobots.
Okay so UPDATE!!!
Finishd mag and printed and I must say that I was pleased with my efforts!
I need some opinions here.. Should I use Rapidshare and upload the 380MB PDF or should I make PDF's of 2-3 pages and upload? Before that, do you guys want to view the magazine? Can I embed the PDF to my blogger blog? How?

Congrats on the achievement
Well it rests completely as to whether split or upload as a whole. I'm ok downloading the entire guide as I want to read all the articles & keep it for my reference. If you split it in parts then too its fine with me but then I would need to rejoin it.
Regarding embedding PDF, this should help. You could post a link in your blogger blog from scribd. I think you better not get into this hassle as your magazine is quite large & again you will be wasting bandwidth as I don't think many prefer to read online. Offering PDf for download by uploading it on Rapidshare or 4shared is a good idea IMO.

Advice: RS is a big PITA for free downloaders, so please use RS Downloader or some other automated download bot.

First I would like to point out the things I liked,
1) The magazine is good in PDF format. I wonder how good would it be in the printed format. Doesn't look too bad for a first timer.
2) I loved the "Anti-Swear Campaign" article. The article by wisecrab on reality shows was very true. I agree completely on it. Linux is terrible is also another impressive article. It was written by the author in really unique way. Megha Swamy also impressed me with her article "Ouch ! I'm a woman !". I found all her points acceptable & her example of Priyanka Chopra was spot on.
3) Ad's were managed properly & didn't hinder the smooth flow of reading nirvana. Thumbs Up
Now the things which I didn't like about the magazine. Not that bad just a few shortcomings,
1) The page numbers should have been mentioned at the bottom of the page instead on top.
2) There was no index of contributors with their pics. Had it been implemented it would have been much more visually pleasing.
3) You didn't correct any typos or glitches in the articles which we failed to rectify during posting. It would have been good had you corrected them.
I haven't read the other long articles like the beauty of north east India & the post-election one, so will reserve my comments on them.

Please pointout all the typos that you can find. I shall rectify them asap. I read all the posts before putting them in the mag. But some typos I have missed it seems.
I wanted to make the index too. Both the contributors and the content, but the timeframe given was a bit too hectic for that. Anyway, I still have mentioned all the contributors names in page 3.
I thought of putting them on the bottom of thepage, but then again, I added them at the last moment and then it slipped my mind.
Read on and keep reporting. I am still willing to improve the mag and i'll post a much more finished copy later (after my exams).
Thanks you for reading Cool G5! I appreciate the feedback a lot. Mine was the only mag to feature so few ads and also the only one to have majority ads made by fellow students (the subway and the BEEP! ads). The only net taken ad was the last page. The post election one was a trip which I and my friend had undertaken and I published his travelogue. The pics are mine.

I loved the content of the Magazine. Yes the First Article on Music is not to my interest but some of them are really impressive. You selected goodies in your Mag.
The photography section is also very wonderful. yes there are typos I too come across them but "Chalta Hai yaar". Nothing can be perfect.
Quality is very high. Layout impressive. Good work and thanks for including our contributions.

The thanks are for you guys for providing such high-quality content. Would have been bad if I dint have proper layouts for the contents.
Thanks for reading through the mag. Yup, imagine the PITA of sifting through 3700+ words and finding nedles in the haystack.
I even photoshopped a page for the article lead.- Status
