Blueprint's Legacy

Posted by Blueprint

We're so glad to see that you're excited about the new additions to the blog come March. And now we have another announcement: As of Friday February 29th, the Blueprint main page on MarthaStewart.com will cease to exist. It sounds intense, but here's what it means: If you come to Bluelines via blueprintmag.com, or through the Blueprint channel on MarthaStewart.com, please bookmark the blog's main page so you can come back. You can also still get to Bluelines via our Community and Blogs pages. (And all of those nice people's blogs who've linked to us.)

We know it's a little bit rough, so before anyone freaks out, please rest assured that all of your beloved Blueprint content will still be available online -- in fact, we've listed all the ways to find it below.

I'm sure many others share my extreme disappointment that Blueprint is being canceled. This was really the best magazine I've ever purchased! Why ??

Would it be possible to find any of the old issues that stores and newsstands don't sell anymore???

[grace cheung]

i did not receive a refund cheque for my subscription to blue print (which was to end jan 2010)....the last magazine i received was jan/feb 2008.

[disappointed jennifer]

way to be lame, martha.

[Blueprint]

That should read February 29th. We apologize for any (further) confusion!!

[Ash]

March 29 is a Saturday, not a Friday..Did you mean Friday, March 28, or Saturday, March 29?

[Laurel]

Looks like the magazine links are already shut down and it's not March 29th yet.

I'm very upset to learn that Blueprint magazine has been discontinued and I'm wondering what became (becomes?) of the rest of my subscription.

[punky]

yay, super excited I found this blog.

I received a refund check from Blueprint today (for my subscription renewal), and have just come to learn about the death of the magazine. Like everyone here, I looked forward to getting each issue in the mail. Every article, I enjoyed, and really applaud the design of the layout. It will be missed. Best of luck to the rest staff! We all enjoyed what you shared with us the past year!

Eeep! As if taking away the magazine wasn't enough, now the mainpage too! I'm rather disappointed but I have added the blog via RSS feed to my "my yahoo" page and hope to keep on top of my bluelines reading. I wish campaigning to keep you alive would work -- All Martha Stewart Living Inc. needed to do was advertise this wonderous magazine and people would flock to it. It's all so sad.

Yes, Stacy, that is our URL.

Thanks!

[Stacy In Pasadena]

What is the direct URL for your blog's homepage going forward?
http://blogs1.marthastewart.com/blueprint/

is that it?

thanks!

I am soooo upset about this. I did nothing but praise this mag and looked forward to years of reading it. It truly was my favorite magazin I've ever read. Although the blog is not the same, I am thankful it's here rather than having NO Blueprint. Another Arrested Development is right! Keep Blueprint alive!

[Erin]

That's right, SD, none of the online Blueprint content will disappear. It'll just be a little less, um, obvious.

[sd]

so am i right here, none of the online content will be disappearing? i loved blueprint and ive been reading this blog for a while now. its sad to see something good vanish =(

[AL]

Will you still be making occasional music recommendations? I loved that feature of the magazine.

[dawn]

This is the worst news. First the mag, now the staff. WHY?

[kyra]

i am so sad about the death of blueprint. i look forward to it coming in the mail, and love everything about the magazine :(

[heather]

i am still bummed about the death of blueprint mag - however I am eager to see the relaunching of bluelines with all the same content we all love and enjoyed in the mag. Thanks for keeping it alive!:)
