And Now, A Word From Our Sponsor
Staying Connected with MPM //‘Q

n November 1,
1999 Mountain
Pride Media

relaunched its Web site at
www.vtpride.org. The
redesigned site is more
colorful, easier to navi-
gate and boasts several
new features.

All the news articles,
editorials, columns, and
features from the print
version of Out In The
Mountains are still there;
they're not only reformat-
ted for easier reading, but
now feature pictures from
the paper as well. In addi-
tion, you can browse
OITM classifieds online
(and even submit one,
should your heart desire).
Information resources
include our community
events calendar, an up-
to-date Source, and
weather forecasts for
towns across the state —
as well as for key vaca-
tion spots. An online sub-
scription form means
you’re just a few clicks
away from supporting our
community’s newspaper
and the convenience of

' finding‘OI’l"M'i‘n“your‘maili

box every month.

The MPM site also fea-
tures an updated OITM
advertisers page that lets
you find contact informa-
tion for advertisers. Even
better, the site has also
added online ads strate-

‘ gically placed throughout.

Businesses and organi-
zations can now reach
readers beyond Vermont,
and readers can keep an
eye out for great online
offers.

These improvements

are just the tip of the ice-
berg. The Web project is
one of Mountain Pride
Media’s major initiatives
this year. Thanks to the
support of the Haymarket
People's Fund, the Gill
Foundation, Physicians
Computer Company, and
individual donations; the
Web Team continues to
help build community and
to make Mountain Pride
Media and its services
more accessible to every-
one, regardless of loca-
tion.

In the near future, even
more features will be
appearing, including the
complete Out in the
Mountains archives
every article from every
issue of our community
newspaper's 13-year his-
tory. In addition, electron-
ic meeting rooms will be
developed and made
available to individuals
and by reservation to any
GLBTQ organization in
the state, so we can all
stay in touch no matter
what the weather!

In addition to the com-

already mentioned,
MPM’s year-long project
includes practical part-
nerships with three other
non—profits in the state.
The Web Team is helping
the Vermont Coalition for
Lesbian and Gay Rights,
Outright Vermont, and
Vermont CARES reach
out to their members and
to the GLBTQ community
at large. The Web Team
is providing various
degrees of site develop-
ment support, from a
