Had the same trouble connecting a time or two. Did not understand how the magazine and website were connected. I bought off the rack for a couple years before subscribing but did not use the site because I thought it was just for subscribers.
Pat, it might be an idea to put this word out in PA cause it is clear that some of us don't understand how things work. This is THE site for me and I want it healthy and long-lasting. I would be willing to pay to use this site.
