I’m getting a few queries about our new portal pages for our three network magazines, Allusionz, LifeTimes and 21st-century Phi, so here’s an update.

The first portal, Allusionz, is now well underway and looking good. It’s being designed by an excellent, but as yet unnamed Web designer, who’s making all the right decisions along the way.

I’m very happy with progress so far, and it looks like it just may get launched this month — way ahead of any schedule I’d been working to.

The other two should follow swiftly as they’ll use more or less the same code.

Following that, our shadowy design guru will create a new template for the whole network, which should be fun. The portals will then be updated with new graphical links and the overall concept finally revealed.
