Thanks for the sincere comment!

Also, I have a few suggestions to the newspaper overall (some I might have said in my previous comment):

- I noticed Bulbasaur, and I figured he was the weekly Pokemon. I thought of a name. Ready? Pokemon of the Issue.
- In terms of graphics, it could look better. It's basically black lines with (text and pictures).
- Everyone said this, but maybe you could "hire" a grammar checker. Or you can just paste everything in a word program.
- For the crossword, you could make an Across and Down place instead of spreading the "hints" out.

That's all for now. Also, looking forward to see your userbar. :)

Tip: Don't use Microsoft Word's grammar checker. It attempts to correct things that are actually okay, and in doing so, it riddles your work with more errors. x_x The computer's intelligent enough to help out with spelling, but when it comes to sentence structure, it's easier to get a human beta, rather than a machine to do it.

Green Storm. Great job on that banner. I really like it and it looks great.

Like everyone else. I suggest a better background, better font and of course not to use MS paint.

Other then that it kept me interested and it can improve over time. Keep up the good work. Wish you luck with future releases.

I wasn't really going for MS Word, but I see your point. I've ran into that problem lots of times when doing my homework. :(

Thanks, it's nice to see compliments.

Also, I suggest you add more pages to the newspaper. Maybe add features like a Rumor section or something similar to that. I can also help with the newspaper itself (how it looks).

Oooohhhhh.... Nice! Good job guys! Except the text is a bit blurry and sketchy. I suggest changing it in a different format.

So there is a new movie? I should have known!

Very promising.
Like everybody is saying,make the quality better by changing the format.
Also a printable version would be nice so made it sized for that purpose.

The user bar's great! Although, can you make the white background transparent?

Oh, because I thought it wasn't transparent. My mistake. :S

Also, if there isn't a crossword feature, may I have that?

I just realized something. Did you just plagiarize your entire third page from this? O_o I mean, yes, you added a URL to the page at the bottom of that page, but you don't credit the author otherwise (and probably haven't asked the author to display their work in your newspaper). Not to mention you're writing a newsletter, so you should be coming up with your own material. It's just good practice simply because you won't run into the risk of getting complaints from the original author, and it's just good practice for something that relies on writing and a level of creativity and good journalism in order to be taken seriously, if that makes sense.
I suggest listening to Valentine. It's not right to plagiarize.

*Zennerick* Oh... Yeah... Sorry... So what are your suggestions? Should i include the Author of the feature or never include any URL at all?...

I guess i should include the Author of the Feature, or i will be accused of piracy/stealing... I'll try enlarging the newspaper, in that way i can include the sources of each element of the newspaper.

P.S = :( Shame...

Common practise for anything is to ask someone before you go ahead and use their stuff - plagiarism is pretty much a big no-no. =/ Even including the author and urls and everything tends to fall short of what is the common and correct way, which is asking for permission and then making sure you give credit should you get that permission.
