hello realtors!

It looks like the majority of the new zinepal.com users are working in the real estate business. That is a niche market I had not anticipated at all, but it is great to see that zinepal is useful in this area. So, hello to all the realtors! Let me know what you think about zinepal.com and if you have any feature requests specific to your business.

Looking at the various zines that have been created it appears that one common problem is repeated content included at the end of each story. For example, links to related blog postings, signature lines, images from Feedburner, etc. This is fine for the online version since you would only be looking at one story at a time. It doesn't look so great in the PDF since the content is repeated throughout the zine and takes up a lot of space.

I'll probably spend some time this week or next to automatically remove this superfluous content. It should be pretty easy to do and will make zines look a lot better, without requiring any additional work from the user. I'll also look into improving the content flow in the PDF version, so that there aren't as many gaps left by images that don't fit on a page. Since most real estate zines include pictures of houses this also seems like an important improvement. Stay tuned...
