Welcome to Issue 5

We've had another three week break between issues, and we will continue the three week cycle for a few more. This is mainly because I am heading down to Australia for a holiday, and apart from relaxing, will be busy updating the website and making a few other improvements.

In just five issues we have produced just under 20,000 newspapers in total, which have been well recieved by readers and advertisers alike.

On the internet we have had over 4000 individual visits in just over two months, and over 208,000 hits. Another 3000 copies of LiTnews have been downloaded directly from the website.

While we have been concentrating mainly on the paper up until now, we realise the website needs a bit more work, as well as being updated more regularly. These are aspects I will be working on under the sun down-under.

So thanks again for your support, and keep an eye on this space for some ongoing improvements over the next few weeks.

See you soon, and think of me as I toil away under the harsh Australian sun.
