When I was a kid I would wait anxiously every month for the new issue of Popular Science because I had a fascination with the future and always wanted to check when those darn flying cars were coming out. I’m still not sure about the flying cars, but Popular Science seems to be on top of the future with regards to blogs. They even have a “From the Blogs” section right after their letters to the editor which highlights one or two people linking to their site every month. I was amazed to hear from a friend that WordPress was actually in the magazine this month, so I ran to Border’s and picked up a copy.
This month they have two How 2.0 articles called Build Your Own Blog and DIY Blogging by Nigel Powell. At the end of the DIY article they recommend people “Try MovableType, Textpattern, or my favorite, WordPress.” Thanks! (Good company to boot.) Popular Science has a “circulation of 1.45 million subscribers and a readership of more than seven million people” so this is some great exposure for our project.
We don’t have a big marketing budget or PR firm to solicit this kind of coverage, but we can thank the people who do write about us. Be sure to pick up a copy of the magazine this month (the rest of the articles are pretty interesting) and consider writing them a letter at [email protected].
