I'm not sure what you mean by the first question. As for the small text, are you sure it's that small? I find it readable, but if someone else complains, I'll make it bigger.

You know how you click something and an article shows up? Instead of turning the pages, you scroll down, all on one page. Then, let's say you click 'Ask Humhum!'. The thing flips to the back, and there's the article. When you click to go back, it turns over and the process starts again.

First draft of the Welcoming Committee article:
Scratch has forever been an open, welcoming community, but sometimes new members feel outcasted and confused about Scratch. All of this is about to change, as the Scratch Team announced that they were restarting the Scratch Welcoming Committee.
What is the SWC? A better question would be who is the SWC. Scratchers from throughout the globe are making projects that welcome and support new Scratchers in a friendly, helpful way. In the projects, Scratchers express their favorite thing or things about Scratch and give their best to the new members. The Scratchers who choose to make this project are also asked to go above and beyond when helping new Scratchers, asking that project creators "reply to [New Scratchers'] comments on your projects, answer their questions, and encourage them as they begin Scratching."
The Scratch Team has created a gallery exclusively for friendly introductory projects for new Scratchers (look for the gallery called "Scratch Welcoming Committee!") and have also provided a few remixable projects for those who wish to participate but aren't feeling especially motivated.
The Scratch Team seems to be supporting the Committee whole-heartedly, with the majority of the Team sporting banner proudly announcing the SWC.
If you're interested, check out the official explanation of the SWC at http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Welcoming_Committee
Scratch on!
I'm not feeling especially great today, writing-wise, but I know I had to get this done. If you feel that you can revise this or even rewrite it, feel free, as it's likely going to turn out better than mine. XP
@ bertdog
I was looking at your interview questions for FuzzFerretTM, and (no offense intended) I think you should be asking more relevant questions. This next part is going to be rude, but I'm just going to spit it out: I don't think people care what someone else's favorite food is. Unless they're starting a Society for Mac 'n' Cheese Lovers (hehe, I might join), no one's likely to use that information.
I believe that the questions should be related to upcoming projects and ideas, such as:
-Are you working on anything right now?
-What inspired you to make these things?
-Have you ever felt like giving up on a project, but then someone supported you and urged you to finish? What would you say to that person?
-When did you start making sonic animations (or whatever FuzzFerret makes)?
-What would you like to say to other Scratchers who are interested in the same thing that you are? (ie, animations / games in Scratch)
Just a few suggestions.

There's not very much you can do as a writer, as most of the articles are taken, but you can try an gather more information about the welcoming committee.

Alright, reporters: could one of you help me gather information for the Welcoming Committee article? Some things I need to know:
1) Why was the original Committee scrapped?
2) Why did the Scratch team restart it?
3) What is it for?
4) How can you contribute?
5) (Optional) What are the rules for contributing?
Think any of you can find answers to one or more of those questions?

You're an ideas worker, right? That means that you come up with ideas for future columns and articles. What can you come up with?

Since you an idea worker, just think of more interesting topics we can have in the next issue. Examples can be found in the first post.
EDIT: First post I made since I changed my signature

I thought there are two working artists? Why isn't there one of them working?

Btw, let's create a new topic: Scratch Projects
It will be about the latest and best projects in scratch. I want to write for it.
It should come in the next issue

I agree.

Important!
Artists, how's the art coming? Reporters, how're the reports coming? Writers, how're the articles coming. Everyone who's still working should answer this.
