Once upon a time Holy Joe used to come through my letter box, it was real and I could hold it in my hands, smell the printer’s ink, read it on the bus and it always had an artistic something or other glued on the front. This was nice but it meant I could only show it to other people if they were with me and if my copy of Holy Joe hadn’t gotten lost under the bed.
So Holy Joe went online which saves the trees. This happened in 2006 but a lot people didn’t hear about it and some did but still missed having something you could read on the bus and pin up on a notice board.
We are making Holy Joe a blog. You can email it to your friends, you can link to it on your webpage, you can use an RSS feed to put it on your Facebook/blog etc, if you do that sort of thing. And it still saves trees.
But for those of you who like reading on the bus, you’ll be pleased to hear we’re going to take the best of this blog and send it out to people three times a year in a newsletter.
Wherever you read Holy Joe, we hope you enjoy these articles from last year’s volunteers – so good we couldn’t start the new face of Holy Joe without them.
