Default Referencing old WCI issues

So lets say you want to carve something or you want to recall an article you read about a while back in one of the magazine issues but you can't remember which one. Does anyone have any easy ways of going back to find it or does everyone do like me and thumb through old issues looking for it?

Over on the left side of the screen, under Subscribe Today, is a link to Print Article index. If you can figure out the right keyword(s), this usually works.

Keywords are the toughest thing for me to list when I'm updating the index; what words make sense to me may not be the thing you remember.

We're working on updating the system to not only make it easier for me to keep up to date, but also to make it easier to use...

Thanks Bob, Now to be more specific, I'm looking for the article/issue that had the carving of a bluejay/caricature bird flying through a window. It was a two piece carving with a magnet that held one side to the inside and outside of a window. I've tried some keywords but haven't found anything. Any help?

Thanks
Steve

Glad to hear that Bob is improving the keyword references. I have had trouble with the system too.

Thanks Bob, I dug out the old magazine, but the search didn't work with any of those words. Oh well I got what i needed, I appreciate your hard work.

Thanks
Steve
