About the Mag
What We Do
Rise Over Run Magazine is an award-winning independent online magazine, hosting up a cultural glimpse of Bowling Green and Western Kentucky University. The mag features local stories, music reviews, art and literary endeavors, commentaries, and the who's who and what's what of BGKY, a city with a vibrant scene we're ready for everyone to finally see.
In other words, it's not about math.
We publish on a biweekly basis but we update a lot in-between too, so check back often.
Technical Stuff
The site is run using a free content management system called Textpattern which utilizes PHP and MySQL. Aside from that, the entire site is hand-coded in HTML and CSS (which explains why it isn't validated). The site itself is hosted by GoDaddy, which my mother thought was a gay porn site when she saw it credited to my bank account.
The Rise Over Run logo is in a blackletter font called Justice. We largely use Clarendon and Fedra for serif display heads, and Chalet and Politica XT for sans serif display heads. The body copy is defaulted to Tahoma (sans serif) and Georgia (serif). Captions are Myriad. We also use a lot of experimental typography.
We mostly work out of the computer lab in Mass Media, so those kids in there on the Macs at all hours of the morning--yeah, that's us. Come by and say hey.
