The staff
Anthros editor in chief, aka tyrannical overlord (or is that the other way around?), is a lifelong devotee of science fiction, comicbooks, roleplaying games, and overall geekitude named Quentin Long. His website Quentins List is an online resource for writers who would like to hone their skills, and he creates posters and T-shirts under the working name Graphic Descriptions. In addition, Long co-edited the bimonthly webzine TSAT (main and mirror sites; online forum; and mall) from #19 (Dec. 2001/Jan. 2002) to #48, its final issue. Of particular note, for the furry community, is the fact that TSAT was a twice-a-year fixture in the Recommended Anthropomorphics List, appearing in the categories Best Short Fiction, Best Novel, and/or Best Fanzine.

Each issue of Anthro is lovingly assembled, by Long, on a Pismo model G3 PowerBook (500-mHz G3, 1 GB RAM, MacOS 9.2.2), using Adobe GoLive 5.0 for HTMLish stuff and Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for all things graphical. Once its done (for a suitably inclusive value of done), Panic Softwares Transmit 1.6 is the app with which Long uploads all files to Anthros host server.
The Anthro house font is ITC Avant Garde Bold. Long uses this typeface straight for titles, and he Photoshops the bejeezus out of it for (zine, column, and other) logos.
Each clickable link in Anthro is set up so that when the mouse is over that link, it displays a description of its target in your browsers statusline. This is a JavaScript thing, so if it doesnt work on your machine, the first thing to do is check your browsers Preferences to make sure that JavaScript is active. Those of you who are FireFox users have to do a bit more than that: From the Tools menu, select Options, then go to Web Features; Enable JavaScript; Advanced; and make sure the Change status bar text checkbox is
er
checked.
In addition, weve got another JavaScript trick up our sleeves: The A icon at the end of each page in the zine. Click on this icon, and itll bring up a small window which gives you the actual URL of whichever page it is. As with the description of target thing, if this doesnt work on your machine, make sure that JavaScript is active.
