LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Dear Reader, Look for a new look at our website this month. We are doing a little housekeeping, so please don't be surprised by the new look on our main page at www.theblueline.com. As a subscriber you mayshould be familiar with the map displayed at The Blue Line 24/Seven that gives you access to all of the jobs listed in each of the 50 states. A similar map will be appearing on our main page and will include “Featured Departments” from around the country. Do not be fooled by the similar look. This map may look like the map that accesses the “members only” information, but it will not work the same way. It will only link to information available to public visitors to our site and the “featured departments” listed there. This will always be a very small percentage of the opportunities that are sent to you as a subscriber. The main page is also home to most of our commercial advertising, which you, as a subscriber, can avoid by going directly to our The Blue Line 24/Seven to access our “members only area.” If you have not already bookmarked that in your web browser, it is www.theblueline.com/24seven.html Each subscriber has a unique password, so please let me know if you do not know what yours is. If you are not taking advantage of The Blue Line website you really should check it out-you are missing a lot of information. Thank you for your continued support of The Blue Line. Best wishes, Kevin Woodside Publisher 2.
