Section 1: EDITOR'S NOTES

January 5th, 2000

Hey All,

Welcome to the first Purple Roofs newsletter of the new year. Starting this month, we weill no longer be publishing the whole newsletter on one page - it was getting to be way too long. We will instead publish it in bits, with links connecting the whole thing together to make for easier and faster downloading and reading.

We have a three new innkeeper columns this month, and two traveler articles. The first is one of a series of articles we're publishing on gay New Zealand, courtesy of the guys at Ascot Villa in Rotorua. The second is a look at the City By The Bay - San Francisco.

The discounts section and the travelog are MIA this month. We're working on automating the Purple Roofs discount list, so watch for that to return next month. And we only received four responses to the request for the travelog article info out of some 130 folks we wrote to, so thank you to those who did respond, but we don't have enough to create an article from.

Where's the Search?

A couple months back, when we changed over to a database format, we mentioned that we were going to add a search function to the website shortly. Well, it's *almost* here. <grin> We're testing it out and making minor modifications, but within the next week or so, it should be that much easier for our visitors to find accommodations, travel agents and tour operators on the Purple Roofs site.

This Month's Special Offer

We're running a special offer for innkeepers, agents and operators this month - if you already have a picture listing, add two more pics and get a third free for the first year. If not, add three pictures to your listing and get a fourth free. Please email us for more details at wheretostay@purpleroofs.com.

That's it for this month - enjoy the rest of the newsletter!

Best,

Mark & Scott
