Ah, I see what you mean. I thought you meant the pen and paper kind.

And thank you for stopping by, Marshall. Zines are still out there, but possibly even fewer now than a few years ago.

I miss zines, still try to pick some up when I can. Distribution is SO much smaller than blogs can be though. Thanks for the thoughtful post.

Not the online ones. :) Sometimes they had a limited audience, but mostly they were public.

Of course there are parallels between zines and blogs - sort of reminds me of the first time I managed to get my name on a web page... no, not that way, I was trying to understand what the web was and this was back before web editors so I had to sort out some html code... when I finally made my name appear and then added some silly sentence I grocked the web as a (then) new publishing medium... zines and blogging... it's all about getting words / ideas out to other folks one way or another.

True, but those diaries and journals were normally kept private, no?

And before we had zines online we have personal diaries or journals. :)
