Hey y'all. Long story short, I'm seriously planning on starting a zine and have been reading up and ordering some here and there as of late. I've already got the type of content and general layout thought out, along with how often I want to put out a zine (currently monthly or bi-monthly).

Has anybody had experience creating or working on a zine before? Know of any good programs to use? I've read a lot of good things about InDesign and am currently planning on using a combination of Microsoft Word/Publisher and cutting and pasting onto a template, followed by black and white photo-copying.

Tips, tricks, and input is welcomed. I'd be happy to talk more about the content and thematic side of things if anybody is interested.
