Jamie Magazine launched by celebrity chef

Jamie Oliver to launch own magazine (link via guardian.co.uk) I'm a big fan of Jamie Oliver but I rarely buy any magazines now. They are just too expensive for what you get. I also used to subscribe to quite a few magazines but the only one I continue subscribing to is Mslexia magazine. I'll be very surprised if Jamie Oliver's magazine does well, considering the current financial crisis. I might buy the first issue out of curiosity though. Have you stopped buying and/or subscribing to magazines? If not, which magazines do you still buy or subscribe to?

The Hummingbird Lady & "that" famous photo

After reading the article, I discovered Abigail has a website with photos.

Top ten health and fitness magazines on the web

I love to read books but I'm also a big fan of magazines. They are pricey though and even if I could afford to buy or subscribe to every magazine I liked, they would soon clutter up the house! One of the great benefits of the internet is that I can access all sorts of magazines on the web - and I'm not limited to just British magazines either. I'm very interested in health issues, particularly exercise and nutrition so I really appreciate finding health and fitness magazine websites that offer lots of informative articles on their site, not just in their magazines. This is my list of top ten magazines on the web with useful websites about health and fitness: Best Health Fitness Magazine Fitness Online Health Muscle & Fitness Hers Natural Health Prevention Self Shape Women'sHealth Are there other magazine websites about health and fitness that you would recommend?
