Just wondering if Worm Digest is ever going to publish again. It has been more than a year since anything was published. This web site is nice and all, but it isn't a publication. When the new owners took over, we were told to expect big things "any time now." Coming soon. Just as soon as we get organized, you'll see!

Well, we're still waiting. Any news?

Mighty slow grapevine. My grapevine has grown over half the garage, my worm population has tripled in their new flow through bin and still not a word about when or even if WD will ever publish again. I first asked this question more than 4 months ago, and to date nothing has come of it. No posts from the &quot;editors&quot; (what do they edit?), no messages saying &quot;it's coming&quot; (apparently it's not), nothing but silence.

A good way to raise worms and mushrooms; keep them in the dark and feed them crap. Not so good if you want to build a community or sell a magazine.

Wellsworms and Dick,

Last week when I was in Cleveland I visited the Worm Digest offices.

First, I must say they are a bunch of nice hard working people dedicated to a great cause.

To answer Dick's question, yes they are going to publish a newsletter again. It appeared to me that they are preparing for an online quarterly magazine that will be much nicer and more informative than anything that has been done in the past. Wellsworms is correct. They have taken longer to get it out the door but it is definitely going to be done more professionally. As you can see on the Home Page of this site there is a article down the middle of the page referring to writer inquiries. Worm Digest is serious about quality writing.

I chime in with both of you. I hope they get done soon and get the online store up and running so that I can subscribe to the newsletter and buy some other things that they will be offering.

I had a chance to see a sneak preview of some of the nice products that will be offered through the online store. I have my eye on a few items for upcoming Holiday gifts.

. . . just my two cents. I am a long time website visitor, first time poster.

Thank you, Dalton, for the information. Glad to hear that something is going on back there.

One of my primary complaints is that we get such information second hand, from visitors or &quot;through the grapevine,&quot; not from the people running Worm Digest. If they are planning something cool &quot;any day now&quot; then why in the world don't they tell us? Why do we sit in the dark wondering what is going on? I'd be much more willing to wait if I thought that something worthwhile would come of it, but to date we have heard nothing for more than a year.

Come on, people, just how long does it take to type a short note once a month or so? No wonder this site gets less than half the traffic the old WD did. At least they responded to their readers once in a while.

No Problem Dick,

I actually had a lot of fun during the visit to the Worm Digest headquarters. Everyone echo's your sentiments about anticipation for the new online quarterly magazine. I am sure soon there will be information published from the administrators about the upcoming magazine and opening of the online store. I got the feeling they want to be sure of deadline dates after they had a couple initial setbacks.

A couple of things I learned is that this new crew doesn't quit. They have encountered some adversity. I think that starts from the top. The other thing I learned is that this website is getting over 35 times more traffic than the old one and sometime this October and November they will jump to over 500 times more monthly traffic than the old website. It appears they are timing everything.

I have been visiting the Worm Digest website since 1998 and I personally feel the website has never been better than it is today. It keeps improving and I saw one new module they are going to be adding to the site that will be fun for everyone to use.

With great respect to you Dick, hopefully we will hear from the horses mouth soon.
