Welcome to theskinny.co.uk

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the new website for The Skinny magazine, www.theskinny.co.uk. Our site used to be www.skinnymag.co.uk, so we're pleased not least to be into what-we're-actually-called territory. But there's a whole lot of other reasons for us (and you) to be excited.

We've now got:

- snazzy design (not that we didn't before, but now it's like a monochrome eye-party of easily navigable fun)

- full searchable online listings (so you can find what's on anywhere with t'int)

- full venue listings (giving you the lowdown on places in the real world, and incorporating our extremely handy online restaurant bookings)

- pictures bloody everywhere (better than not having them, we reckon)

- more blogs (including our exclusive column by the wonderfully named Slutty McWhore)

- gallery pages (so we can show off our brilliant showcases, talented photographers and sexy fashion)

And that's just the main stuff. Have a look around because there's all kinds of goodness; and keep coming back, because we've got loads of developments planned for the next few months.

It goes without saying that we've busted a gut to get www.theskinny.co.uk into this nick (admittedly, the decision to launch within two days of print deadline was all our own, and that didn't help much) - and we're extremely proud of the result. Massive respect and thanks go to Matt MacLeod, in-house genius, for knocking the thing together in double-quick time and making the site so all-round badass. Also huge respect for everyone involved with The Skinny at any level: you don't get there 'til you're there (as the philosophers say) and we wouldn't be anywhere near here (wherever here is) without the committed, excellent work of a whole host of people. Nice work all.

Drop us a line with your thoughts, or stick it up on the forums. We love dissers almost as much as flattery.

Enjoy the site,

Rupert.
